About Herzog von Württemberg
Weingut Herzog von Württemberg is the historic ducal winery of the House of Württemberg, based at Schloss Monrepos in Ludwigsburg. Winegrowing by the House of Württemberg traces back to the 13th century, and the estate itself was founded in 1677 by Duke Eberhard III, remaining in the family's hands ever since. With roughly 40-42 hectares under vine — including several VDP.GROSSE LAGE and VDP.ERSTE LAGE sites such as Mundelsheimer Käsberg and Untertürkheimer Mönchberg — it is the largest private vineyard owner in the Württemberg region and a longstanding member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter). The range centers on classic Württemberg varieties — Riesling, Lemberger, and Trollinger — alongside Spätburgunder, Weissburgunder, and international varieties such as Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc.
