Winzer Sommerach Katzenkopf Riesling dry

Shell limestone noticeably shapes this Riesling from the Katzenkopf vineyard: the minerality runs deep, the wine has drive and length.

The Winzer Sommerach are one of the most traditional wine cooperatives in Franconia, founded in 1901 at the Volkach Mainbogen. The Katzenkopf vineyard lies on pure shell limestone – geologically the classic Franconian subsoil, which gives Rieslings their typical bone structure and aging potential. The southwest-facing slope is the most famous vineyard in Sommerach and stands for defined origin and artisanal care.

In the glass, the Riesling shows aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, underpinned by a fine chalky tone that makes the shell limestone directly palpable. The acidity is taut but not edgy – it gives the wine liveliness and length. The finish is mineral-salty, dry, and persistent.

The Winery

Winzer Sommerach

Winzer Sommerach is the oldest winegrowers' cooperative in Franconia – founded in 1901 by 35 winegrowing families who joined forces during a time of phylloxera infestation and falling prices to survive together.

Today, 90 families carry this idea forward, cultivating around 200 hectares on the Mainschleife and guarding the Sommeracher Katzenkopf, one of the most significant sites in the region.

The motto "Quality makes the difference" is no empty phrase: every bottle can be traced back to a specific winemaker and their vineyard – transparency and community as a lived principle for over 120 years.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
