Auxerrois quality wine, dry

Auxerrois from the Gleistal near Jena — a grape variety that has been native to Thuringia for centuries and today only survives on a few old sites.

The Gleis Valley has one of the warmest microclimates in Central Germany. The steep limestone and sandstone slopes store heat and give the wine a pronounced mineral character, which is typical for Auxerrois in this region.

In the glass, it displays a pale straw yellow. The nose offers aromas of ripe pear, mirabelle plum, and a hint of white blossom. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity without harshness, and a slightly spicy, mineral finish. Not a heavy wine—rather, precise and fresh.

The Winery

Kirchner

The Kirchner winery is located in the picturesque and traditional wine-growing community of Freinsheim in the Palatinate. The winery has been family-owned since 1790 and is passed down from generation to generation. This long tradition is reflected in the care and dedication with which the Kirchner family produces their wines.

Quality is the priority. In the vineyards, the winery focuses on reduced yields per hectare and intensive manual labor.

The goal is to harvest healthy and high-quality grapes that form the basis for excellent wines. The Kirchner winery's range is diverse and includes estate wines, local wines, and single-vineyard wines. This classification is indicated by different colors on the labels.

Special attention is paid to the traditional grape varieties of the region, such as Riesling, Pinot Noir, and St. Laurent. These varieties are cultivated on a total vineyard area of 17 hectares, with 60% used for white wine varieties and 40% for red wine varieties. The wines of the Kirchner winery are a reflection of the Palatinate terroir and the passionate work of the Kirchner family.
