Karl Petgen Winery
The Karl Petgen winery is located in Nennig on the Upper Moselle, directly on the border with France and Luxembourg, and is run by Sabine and Peter Petgen in the ninth generation. It is demonstrably the oldest winery in Saarland, with documentary evidence dating back to 1720. Shell limestone dominates here. Today, the estate cultivates mainly Burgundy varieties as well as traditional grape varieties such as Auxerrois and Elbling on 20 hectares of vineyards. The estate’s vineyards are all located on site and offer the best soils for outstanding wines.
“As a modern company, it is extremely important for us to convey to our customers that they can enjoy our wines with a clear conscience.”

Philosophy
The foundation for the quality of the wines is laid in the vineyard through low pruning, planted rows of vines and natural soil and foliage management. Traditional winemaking methods combined with modern cellar technology are used at the winery.
