German winemaker, Carl Ehrhard

Wine Students

We were delighted to have welcomed renowned German winemaker, Carl Ehrhard, to the school recently, where he presented a range of his wines to the students. There is a Riesling renaissance taking place and a renewed interest in wines from Germany, not only their Riesling’s, but also their Pinot Noir’s, so it was great that the students were able to learn first hand all about these fantastic wines.

A rich 150-old tradition of producing high-quality Riesling and Spätburgunder wines. Cultivated across 10 hectares of the best vineyard sites in Rüdesheim, our wines boast the typically delicate playfulness, so characteristic of the Rheingau region. Quality optimisation both in the vineyards and in the winery is the fundamental principle of the Carl and Petra Ehrhard family.

 

“Striking a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation”– is the aspiration defining the wines from the Carl Ehrhard winery
