The Duke of Württemberg's Winery & Estate
Michael, Duke of Württemberg runs the vast winery estate. The Duke of Württemberg (Herzog Von Württemberg) estate owns around 40 hectares of vineyards in the Württemberg growing region.
They are decedents from King William II of Württemberg. From the middle of the 17th century to the end of the 19th century, the House of Württemberg acquired seven of the best vineyards in the country.
Today the vineyards extend from Remstal to Maulbronn. Each of the six individual sites has its specific terroir, which is reflected in the wines. Nowhere else in Württemberg can you taste so many different wines of distinguished origin from a single source.
For generations, the Duke of Wurttemberg's winery has stood for special wines from the best locations in the State. Striving for harmony with nature and technology within the vineyard.
As well as in the wine cellar and the combination of old traditions and new knowledge is the winery’s recipe for success. That means enjoying wine at the highest level, because the Herzog von Württemberg winery - The Duke of Wurttemberg's winery - has to vinify the finest terroir-related wines that reflect the individuality of each grape variety in the wine.
The winery has been a member of the VDP (Association of Prädikatsweingüter eV) since 1986. The grape eagle on every bottle is the distinguishing mark and vouches for the high quality of its products.
We are honoured to have selected a range of wines from the estate.
Increased in popularity are the sparkling wines made from the famous German Riesling to Pinot Noir. They are exemplary for celebrations and for special occasions. We are pleased to introduce the Zweigelt from their estate together with the ATTEMPTO collection.
The prize of our selection has to be "DUX" or "The Duke". It is the top cuvée of the winery with a combination of Cabernet and Merlot. The long maturation time in barriques leaves a powerful, yet fine-meshed taste that is reminiscent of ripe forest berries, plums and cherries.
"Dux" took 1st place at the VINUM German Red Wine Award 2020. You can learn more about the wines and purchase them from our online store or selected retailers across the UK.
