For many generations, we Geigers have been at home here in the Südliche Weinstraße district, making wine.
Our motto is to enjoy life. Preferably surrounded by friends, neighbours, the whole family - and with a glass of wine in hand.
That's us! Three generations. An unbelievable cohesion. And a great deal of passion for the Southern Palatinate and what we do.
The Palatinate and Alsace border on each other in Schweigen. Here, the Palatinate Forest merges with the Northern Vosges Mountains. Today, large parts of our vineyards from old family ownership lie on the French side. For us, this is a stroke of luck, because this is also where we find the filestocks of our vineyards: south-facing and with the kind of soil and microclimate that provide our vines with ideal conditions for producing wines full of character.
Border value: The wine landscape is as diverse as the way of life in the border region. The variety of soils and sites is reflected in the wines.
Wine needs time. Wine is not created entirely without our intervention, but healthy, ripe grapes make it easier for us in the cellar. We rely on gentle vinification and modern cellar technology. Our wines develop their individual character thanks to our restraint in interfering with the natural fermentation and ripening processes. In this way, aromas typical of the variety and vintage develop. Every Geisser wine is different - something special.
A firework of aromas. Climate, soil, grape variety, yield, aging - many criteria determine what ends up in the glass. Our red wines mature for the most part in small, new oak barrels, the barriques. The interplay of fruit and roasted aromas, as well as the influence of tannins, gives the wine harmony and body. But it also ensures a long storage and development potential.
Opening times
As we are a family winery, we all pitch in and work hand in hand. For this reason, there is usually someone from our family at the winery when customers drop by spontaneously. Nevertheless, we would appreciate a phone call prior to your visit, also to ensure we can be there for you. Please understand that our lunch break is from Monday to Saturday, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
Monday to Friday: By appointment. Phone: 06342 / 7502
Saturday: from 10 AM
By prior arrangement and scheduling, it is also possible to pick up wine from us on Sunday and public holidays in the morning.
