HISTORY
The Riesling winery “Dr. Hermann” with over 17 hectares of vineyards is run by Christian Hermann. Viticulture has been a tradition in the Hermann family for several centuries.
Today’s winery was created in 1967 from the division of the Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben in Ürzig, when Christian’s grandfather, the physician Dr. Hermann, founded his own winery with the vineyards belonging to his branch of the family.
Over the course of time, the vineyard estate was steadily expanded. The production facility was relocated from Ürzig to Erden with the construction of a spacious and modern cellar.
The focus is on Riesling cultivation on steep slopes. Almost all of the estate’s vineyards in the famous Erdener Prälat, Ürziger Würzgarten and Erdener Treppchen sites are planted with ungrafted Riesling vines, which produce the finest Riesling wines. The aforementioned vineyards are among the most traditional vineyards in the world – quality viticulture has been practiced here since ancient times almost 2000 years ago.
