About Weingut Seeger
Weingut Seeger is a family estate in Leimen, on the Badische Bergstraße in Baden, whose winegrowing history traces back to 1655, with the winery itself established in 1707. Now led by Thomas Seeger in the 12th generation, with 13th-generation winemaker Anna Marie Seeger increasingly shaping the estate's future, Seeger has been a member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter) since 2010. Farming roughly 12 hectares of Muschelkalk limestone and loess-loam soils around the Leimen Herrenberg, the estate focuses on Burgundy varieties — Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder, Chardonnay and Auxerrois — alongside Riesling, Spätburgunder, Schwarzriesling and Blaufränkisch. Farmed organically without certification and vinified with minimal intervention, the wines are guided by Thomas Seeger's simple credo: 'Wein muss schmecken. Ganz einfach.' — Wine must taste good. Quite simply.
Who Is This For?
For lovers of structured, terroir-driven German Pinot varieties and age-worthy, food-friendly Riesling.
