Every wine has its story, and so does the wine of the vineyard Stephan Fuchs.
The decision to recultivate on the old sites around Hopfgarten is based on Stephan Fuchs' desire to preserve the old tradition of viticulture in the region. Since 2000, he has been cultivating the mountain in the traditional way and from a biological point of view. For example, the vine alleys are planted with vegetation and organic niches encourage beneficial insects. Mr. Fuchs' goal is to produce high-quality yet affordable wines. In doing so, he takes care in selecting vines that are perfectly suited to the given conditions. Cultivated are the varieties
Regent and Phönix as well as some Riesling vines and Ehrenfelser vines. These have been producing high-quality wines for years.
Visitors can taste or purchase the wines directly on site. Wine tastings in the small bottle store and vineyard tours in and around Hopfgarten with a small journey into the past are possible in groups of up to 6 people and with advance reservation.
Like Bad Sulza and Kaatschen, this wine-growing region also belongs to the Saale-Unstrut region. The country wines produced here bear the designation "Mitteldeutscher Landwein".
