Jürgen Ellwanger
Jürgen Ellwanger produces wines from Württemberg, a region in southwestern Germany known for its diverse terroirs and distinctive grape varieties. The winery focuses on two principal grapes: Riesling and Spätburgunder, each expressing the mineral character and precision typical of the region's best sites. The Riesling Eiswein Winterbacher Hungerberg demonstrates the grape's capacity for concentration and complexity in noble rot conditions, while the Riesling Schnaiter Altenberg Trocken showcases dry-style Riesling with structure and aging potential. The Spätburgunder Hebsacker Lichtenberg GG Trocken—a Grosses Gewächs designation wine—reflects the region's reputation for elegant, food-friendly Pinot Noir. These wines have been assessed by Falstaff, Decanter, and Wine Advocate, reflecting their standing within the German wine establishment.
