Weingut Ellermann-Spiegel

Ellermann-Spiegel - state-of-the-art viticulture on the wine route

Ellermann-Spiegel is now a winery in the Palatinate that should not be missed in the search for exciting wines at small prices. Frank Spiegel has created an estate in the small community of Kleinfischlingen, a few minutes' drive south of Neustadt an der Weinstraße, that combines state-of-the-art viticultural technology with a great deal of know-how.

Frank Spiegel brings a lot of that with him, because the winemaker learned at the legendary Knipser winery in the Palatinate, among other places. However, that alone was not enough for the master of Ellermann-Spiegel, which is why Frank also studied viticulture, enology and cellar technology in Geisenheim and gained experience in the Bordelais. in 2007, Frank joined his stepfather's winery and has brought it incredibly forward in not even 10 years.

"You have to like IT!" is, after all, also the motto of Ellermann-Spiegel, which is of course also based on the initials. This may sound somewhat banal, but the slogan shows that Frank Spiegel did not want to create a winery with Ellermann-Spiegel in the Palatinate that comes across as aloof or even elitist. What counts here is taste.

Frank Spiegel also puts his youthful enthusiasm into the "Generation Riesling," of which he is a member. Riesling is just one of his hobbyhorses. His Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc wines stand out in particular. In addition to the white wines, Ellermann-Spiegelalsoproduces two ingenious red wine cuvees, No Name and Anno XIV, which are simply a lot of fun.

• Pinot Blanc
• Chardonnay
• Pinot Noir
• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Rieslaner
• Regent
• St. Laurent
