Weingut Seck

Today we cultivate about 17 hectares (42 acres) of vines in areas of Dolgesheim and the next villages Weinolsheim, Hillesheim and Dorn-Dürkheim. In the era Tertiary theRheinhessen region was covered by an ocean (the Mainz Basin). During this time, clays, sands and limestones weredeposited. The vineyard soils range from light sandy loam soils over limestone clay to heavy, humus-rich loess soils.

In 2007, we completely changed our vineyards to organic farming. We are a member of Naturland.

Weingut Seck was founded  50 years ago. We place special emphasis on consistent production of high quality wines. Quality begins in the vineyard. Through a carefulpruning, greening in each row and removal of leaves andthinning of the grapes the basis for full-bodied, densewhite and red wines is placed. Yields average at about 75hectoliters per hectare, or about 1.5 liters per vine.The top wines are at 40-55 hectoliters per hectare.

Our red wines get density and character by traditionalfermentation on the skins, they are further refined bymaturation in small or large oak barrels. The grape must of the white varieties is cooled and slowly fermented toensure optimal preservation of flavors and a clean fermentation. By careful and gentle treatment, the qualityachieved in the vineyard is preserved. We fill our winesdirectly in the winery to bring the wines into the bottles as fresh and gently as possible .
