Weinhaus Bettina Schumann defines itself as a Burgundy producer, focused on Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris. Their focus is on winemaking while trusting the vineyard growers who share the same values in farming and what they believe to be a healthy vineyard. Bettina and Melanie work with 5 different vineyard sites in the Kaiserstuhl region to source their fruit. None of the vine-growers use Glyphosate (herbicide commonly known as RoundUp) to protect the integrity and biodiversity of the soil and groundwater.
Two of these vineyards are Demeter certified, a rigorous biodynamic farming certification. Since the beginning. Weinhaus Bettina Schumann has been working closely with growers to establish a sustainable work relationship based on good communication and fair prices.
Weinhaus Bettina Schumann’s wines are intense, bright, and made with a lot of thought and care put into them. They love to try different techniques and are constantly experimenting to create the best possible wine with each variety every year. They make wines from traditional Burgundian Pinot Noir to skin-fermented Pinot Gris that has is pink.
Their wines have a recognizable stylistic which is defined by spontaneous fermentation, maceration time, and precise use of oak integration to the wines. All the wines have something special to them, a kick!
