Fellbacher Weingärtner eG
フェルバッハー・ヴァインゲルトナー
Württemberg's 2nd-oldest wine cooperative since 1858
About Fellbacher Weingärtner eG
Fellbacher Weingärtner eG is a wine growers' cooperative (Winzergenossenschaft) founded in 1858 in Fellbach on the outskirts of Stuttgart — the second-oldest wine cooperative in the Württemberg region. Around 200-270 member grower families (sources vary) cultivate roughly 185 hectares of vineyard on the steep slopes of the Kappelberg, centered on the celebrated Lämmler and Goldberg sites, with about 60% planted to red varieties. Unlike Fellbach's small family estates such as Weingut Aldinger or Weingut Rainer Schnaitmann, the cooperative pools grapes from many independent growers and vinifies them collectively in a modern winery (built 1940, since expanded). Trollinger and Lemberger (Blaufränkisch) form the historic backbone of the range, alongside Spätburgunder, Riesling, Müller-Thurgau and other varieties, released across tiered lines — Edition C for everyday drinking, Edition S for yield-reduced selections, and Edition P for premium single-site bottlings. The cooperative has earned numerous national and international awards, including multiple golds at Mundus Vini and recognition for Best German Red Wine at Meininger's CO-OP Contest.
Who Is This For?
