The story
The Berres family has been present in Ürzig for centuries; historical documents mention the family as early as the 16th century, and a business linked to wine trading and hospitality was established in the 19th century. The company timeline includes milestones such as the wine-trading activity of Peter Nicolay, the construction of significant cellars in the early 20th century, and the development of vineyard holdings associated with several grand cru sites of the Mosel. The estate is currently operated as Weingut C. GbR.
Production philosophy
The winery prioritizes quality and hands-on work: harvesting and vineyard management are carried out mainly by hand, with repeated selection of the grapes when necessary. In the cellar the approach aims to extract the vineyard’s potential through gentle pressing, extended lees contact to increase complexity and structure, and limited filtration only before bottling.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located in the Mittelmosel, with parcels in prestigious sites such as Ürziger Würzgarten, Ürziger Goldwingert, Wehlener Klosterberg, Erdener Treppchen, Erdener Herrenberg, Kinheimer Hubertuslay and Zeltinger Deutschherrenberg. The vineyards lie mainly on steep slopes with slate-based soils typical of the Mosel.
Awards and recognition
Throughout its history the winery has received recognition and is cited in publications and guides. Among the historical references is the designation "Hoflieferant des Deutschen Kaisers", and some of the estate's wines have been reviewed and rated by publications such as The Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator.
