Moritz Kissinger is the herald of “New Rheinhessen”. Believe the hype. With incredible energy, curiosity, passion, and openness, Moritz is crafting some of the most exciting wines in the Rheinhessen, Germany, and maybe the world. These are not your grandiose, crystalline rieslings that have reached global fame (Keller comes to mind). The wines of Moritz Kissinger are singular in a way that they channel the character of the wines produced in more famous regions (Burgundy, Sancerre, Jura) through the soils of the Rheinhessen and are made with care by someone who is deeply connected to the area. Viva la Rhein!
Moritz Kissinger along his father, Jürgen farm 13 hectares in the Rhine Valley. Moritz focuses on producing fresh, mineral wines. Though Moritz is 4th generation, he is only the second generation to bottle his wine, his father preceding him in 1986.
The vineyards are spread out, with some parcels around Uelversheim and the rest unfolding south from Oppenheim towards Guntersblum along the river's west bank. Chardonnay, Spätburgunder, Pinot Blanc, and Riesling are the main varieties grown here, all handpicked and fermented in oak barrels.
They are driven by the motto: 'diversity is resilient' and are constantly pushing to increase the biodiversity of their vineyards, thus strengthening the ecosystem and the soil, which, in turn, fuels healthy grapes.
