Weingut Heitlinger is an organic-certified wine estate located in Östringen-Tiefenbach. The regional soils consist of loess and colored marl. The latter is typical in the Kraichgau region, with the exception of a few patches in France (in the Jura, Burgundy, and the Rhone Valley), colored marl is very rare and seldom found elsewhere in the world. This type of soil lends the wines a special, fruity-mineral character that is particularly prevalent in the premium wines from the so-called Grosse Lagen (VDP vineyards classified as the finest of a respective region). Heitlin- ger cultivates vines in the Grosse Lage Spiegelberg, Heinberg, Eichelberg, Königsbecher, Schellenbrunnen, Wormsberg and Hassapfel. Members of the Pinot family, named “Burgunder” in German language, account for the 70% of all plantings including Grauburgunder, Weißburgunder, Chardonnay and Auxerrois. The estate’s oldest vineyard area is the parcel “Museum” within the Teifenbacher Schellenbrunnen where the great winemaker Claus Burmeister produces one of the best Riesling Großes Gewächs of the region.
