Founded in 1949 by retired, world-class Gymnast Karl Haidle and now onto its third generation, Weingut Haidle has long been a pioneer and leader in fine-wine production in Württemburg. Historically, and to some extent up until today, this region is dominated by cooperatives but Karl wanted none of it and from the get go was focused on estate bottlings.

Hans Haidle took over the estate very early due to his fathers’ premature death and grew the estate from 2.5ha to 23ha and has formed the reputation of today’s top Rieslings from the Pulvermächer vineyard site. His strive for quality and perfection earned him the Federal Achievement Award many times.

Moritz Haidle took up the torch for his father’s unflagging dedication to quality in 2014, successfully transitioning the estate to organic and Demeter certified biodynamic farming. He has concentrated the estates’ focus on Riesling and Lemberger, also known as Blaufränkisch with our Austrian friends, as well as small portion of Kerner for family tradition. Asked how he would define the wineries philosophy he says “The organic cultivation of Riesling and Lemberger, spontaneously fermented and puristic in style” which really sums it up nicely.
