Weingut Ziereisen Bio
The Ziereisen family works traditionally on their 16 hectares of vineyards in the southern Markgraeflerland. The heart of the Markgräflers is composed mainly of the Chasselas and the Pinot Noir, which makes up the main varieties of the winery. Hanspeter Ziereisen is the master winemaker, allowing the wines to work with nature, develop slowly and gently producing wines full of character with as little intervention as possible.
