The Lingenfelder estate holds a long heritage in winemaking—dating more than 500 years with 14 generations of family wine growers and winemakers. This history has contributed to the family’s careful sensitivity toward environmental sustainability and to their commitment to quality. Rainer Lingenfelder has gained a wide reputation for stylish and elegant Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) and Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder) in addition to classic Riesling and Scheurebe wines. Rainer’s son Georg is taking on management from his father, continuing their three-cornered approach to quality: hand harvesting, natural fermentation and no fining agents on all estate wines. The Lingenfelder family is also close to the Jones & Company family: two of our staff (Gary Hewitt and Anton Sikorsky) have been able to work with the Lingenfelders. Gary worked in an extended winemaking internship in 2002, and Anton worked the harvest and winemaking in 2022.
