Jean Stodden Winery
The Jean Stodden winery is located in the village of Rech and is run by Alexander Stodden. The Stodden family has been cultivating wine in the vineyards on the Ahr since 1578. Pinot Noir has been cultivated on 10 hectares of vineyards since 1900, as well as Pinot Noir and even Riesling. On the first vineyards, Recher Herrenberg, Ahrweiler Rosenthal and Neuenahrer Sonnenberg with soils of slate, greywacke and loess as perfect heat reservoirs, all grapes are harvested by hand and only the best grapes are processed. In 2014, the Jean Stodden winery was awarded the best collection of the year at the Wine Awards, and was also awarded four grapes by Gault Millau and five stars by Eichelmann.

“Our tradition is to do everything in harmony with nature to bring wine to perfection. This seal not only allows me to show my respect for nature, but also for my employees. FAIR’N GREEN perfectly fulfills my ambition to be able to look my children in the eye tomorrow with a clear conscience.”

Philosophy
The Stodden family has been committed to winegrowing in the Ahr Valley since 1578. In 1900, Alois Stodden began to press his Pinot Noirs himself with the claim: “Do everything in harmony with nature to bring wine to perfection.”
This begins with pruning in winter and spring, where the winery follows the maxim: “Quality not quantity”. Only a few fruit eyes remain on the vine to ensure that the best grapes are selected from the outset and to produce dense, extract-rich wines at the end of the process.
As much sunshine as possible, harvesting by hand and careful processing of the grapes are the prerequisites for the high quality of the wines.
