Kaiserstühler Winzergenossenschaft Ihringen, founded in 1924, is one the largest winegrowers’ coop-eratives in the province of Baden, Germany whose 515 members cultivate 300 hectares (813 acres) of vineyards.

Ihringen is located at the southern part of the Kaiserstuhl land mass and is known as Germa-ny’s warmest village with the highest number of recorded sunshine hours annually.

It is no wonder that classic white and red Pinots thrive here, as do other sun-loving varieties such as Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau, Muskateller and Gewürztraminer. Newer wines such as Merlot or Sauvignon Blanc add to the cornucopia of wines we offer.

Wine has been cultivated in Ihringen for centuries. We hang on to our rich tradition but are open to the modern advances in an ever-changing global wine market.
