Winemaker Sina Mertz

Sina studied oenology at the Hochschule in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse. She completed internships in Chile and California (with Kendall-Jackson). The soil in Eckelsheim is unique. Porphyry rock full of fossilised seafood.

Vineyards In the organic vineyards around the village of Eckelsheim, Sina's grapes grow around a porphyry rock mountain. Her choice to make modern German wines honours her and shows the best of the terroir.
