The Hitziger winery is committed to producing its wines according to strict guidelines to ensure that nature is preserved in its original form and beauty.
The vineyards serve as a habitat for a variety of insects and plants. The Hitziger winery has therefore set itself the goal of preserving this biodiversity in the vineyards. All plant protection, fertilisation and soil cultivation measures are geared towards this.
The avoidance of insecticides and herbicides, the extensive use of pesticides that are gentle on beneficial insects, organic fertilisation based on the needs of the vines and species-rich soil cover form the basis of controlled, environmentally friendly viticulture.
“We have been growing grapes in Schloßböckelheim for 7 generations. For us, sustainability means treating people and the environment in such a way that we will still be able to do so in seven generations’ time.”

Klein & Sohn Winery
A symbiosis of French elegance, traditional craftsmanship and innovative thinking. In doing so, the company always returns to its roots. Even deeper, to the diverse soils in which these roots grow. And soils are volatile, as anyone who has travelled the infamous Dust Belt or seen gullies in fertile farmland after a summer thunderstorm knows. This is why the Klein & Sohn winery favours the careful use of resources, the promotion of biodiversity through a wide range of greenery in the vineyard and the targeted questioning of the status quo. So that the best can be teased out of every type of soil.
