Königschaffhausen-Kiechlinsbergen volcanic rocks Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris from the Kaiserstuhl is a reliable choice in its own right – but the Vulkanfelsen from the Königschaffhausen-Kiechlinsbergen winegrowers' cooperative takes it a step further: more depth, more palate, more drive.

The cooperative cultivates the volcanic weathered soils around Königschaffhausen and Kiechlinsbergen in the northern Kaiserstuhl – one of the warmest and driest corners of Germany. The mineral-rich volcanic soil gives the Pinot Gris its characteristic emphasis that lighter sandy soils cannot provide.

In the glass, it shows ripe nectarine and yellow apple, plus a subtle nutty note, which suggests brief contact with wood or natural oxidation during aging. Full-bodied on the palate, with round volume and a length that is remarkable for an entry-level wine from this site. The acidity keeps the whole thing fresh and prevents the wine from appearing too broad.

The Winery

Königschaffhausen-Kiechlinsbergen

In the heart of the sun-drenched Kaiserstuhl, where the gentle hills of the Black Forest meet the lush vineyards, lies the Königschaffhausen-Kiechlinsbergen winegrowers' cooperative.

Here, where the volcanic soil nourishes the vines and the warm Baden sun caresses them, the grapes thrive to become wines that tell stories. For generations, around 150 winegrowing families have cultivated their vineyards with dedication and passion.

Together, they cultivate an area of 370 hectares, which extends over the best sites of the Kaiserstuhl. It is the Burgundy varieties that thrive particularly well here – above all the velvety Pinot Noir and the elegant Pinot Gris.

These grape varieties are the heart of the cooperative and reflect the soul of the region. In the deep cellars of the cooperative, the wines mature into true treasures. The premium wines of the "Selection" and "Jahrgangsbesten" series are of particular quality, while the classic Kabinett and Spätlese wines as well as the characterful Vulkanfelsen wines show the diversity and richness of the terroir. The cooperative has also made a name for itself in the production of sparkling wine and luscious wines, always open to new findings and innovations in viticulture.
