{"title":"Rings","description":"The origins of today\u0026#39;s VDP winery can be traced back to the parents of Steffen and Andreas Rings, who ran a mixed farm that continued to operate as such well into the 1990s. From 2000 onwards, Steffen Rings took over the business and restructured it into a dedicated winery. In 2008, Andreas Rings returned from his apprenticeship at the Wagner-Stempel winery and has since been managing the Freinsheim winery in the Palatinate region together with his brother Steffen. The approximately 40-hectare estate is planted with roughly equal numbers of red and white grape varieties. The vineyards feature diverse soils – gravelly sand, terra rossa (red earth), and limestone – where Riesling, Pinot Noir, and international grape varieties thrive. The individual vineyard sites are located in Freinsheim, Kallstein, Ungestein, and Leitstadt.","products":[{"product_id":"rings-riesling-kallstadter-saumagen-gg-tr","title":"Rings Riesling Kallstadter Saumagen GG tr","description":"Discover the Rings Riesling Kallstadter Saumagen GG tr – a wine that will enchant your senses and make every moment special.
