About Weingut Hans Wirsching KG

The traditional winery is located in the municipality of Iphofen ( Steigerwald area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. The estate has been family-owned since 1630. After the Second World War (1939-1945), Hans Wirsching laid the foundations for today's estate. He was responsible for the best Iphöfer site being named Julius-Echter-Berg. From 1966, it was expanded by Dr Heinrich Wirsching and his brother Hans in the 14th generation. The business is managed by Andrea Wirsching and her sister Lena will continue the female leadership. Dr Uwe Matheus is the operations manager and Dr Klaus-Peter Heigel is the cellar master.

Vineyards

The vineyards cover 90 hectares of vines at the foot of the Schwanberg in the single vineyard sites Julius-Echter-Berg, Kalb, Kronsberg with Gewann Kammer and Mönchshütte (Iphofen). They are planted with the white wine varieties Silvaner (40%), Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Bacchus, Müller-Thurgau, Scheurebe and Gewürztraminer, as well as the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Blauer Portugieser and Dornfelder. In 1952, Hans Wirsching planted one of the first Scheurebe vines in Franconia on the Kronsberg. Since then, the winery has been one of the experts in this grape variety. Through appropriate measures such as thinning out, yields are greatly reduced in order to improve quality. The vineyards are cultivated according to certified Fair'n Green rules.

Product range

The product range is categorised according to the VDP classification model into Grosse Gewächse, Erste Lagen, Ortsweine and Gutsweine. The grapes, harvested by selective hand-picking, are processed gently. The aim is to produce fresh and lively wines with vintage and varietal character. The winery specialises in Franconian dry wines. The white wines are matured in stainless steel tanks, the red wines mature in the old vaulted cellar, mostly in large wooden barrels. A small proportion of the white and red wines are also matured in French barrique barrels.

Other products

Since 2016, experiences have been exchanged with the partner winery "Kishor" in the Western Galilee in Israel as part of the "TWIN-WINERY" initiative. In this context, a kosher Silvaner has been produced since 2016. Sparkling wines, bottle-fermented sparkling wines and fine brandies (marc, Mirabelle plum, WIRGIN) are also produced. The annual production totals around 600,000 bottles of wine. The winery is a member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter) and Fränkischer Weinbauverband associations, as well as the Silvaner Forum winegrowers' association.
