"For taste and variety, you don't have to be big."
At VinumDivinum, we know wine. And we passionately share this knowledge with our customers. We create unforgettable moments at home with wine pairings made by VinumDivinum. Our wine packages, with matching recipe suggestions that anyone can cook, make you shine as a host and provide the perfect basis for a social evening at home where you also learn something about wine. Do you want to stay in touch with us and learn more about wine, us, and our offerings? Then sign up for our newsletter, which we send to wine enthusiasts every 2 weeks.
In harmony with the seasons, we produce between 2,500 and 3,000 bottles of wine and about 1,500 bottles of sparkling wine per year. Currently, we cultivate 5 different grape varieties and strive to create the perfect result from grapes, sun, and cellar art, depending on the whims of the weather. Quality is our top priority, and with every task, we make a precious statement for nature. We are excited to share the fascinating stories our wines tell year after year with you. So, welcome to the enchanting wine manufactory Wissmann-Jessel!
Where to Find Us
Our manufactory is located right on the border between France and Germany, in beautiful Alsace, 6 km from Breisach am Rhein. In the charming Obersaasheim with about 1200 inhabitants.
Climate
Where spring begins three weeks earlier than elsewhere, our grapes grow. Between Kaiserstuhl and Markgräfler Land, they capture the hours of sunshine and turn them into their sweet secret.
Soils
The soils are diverse. While Kaiserstuhl is of volcanic origin, Markgräfler Land is the result of the drifting apart of the Rhine plain. Both Kaiserstuhl and Markgräfler Land are characterized by loess-rich soil.
Varieties
Currently, we cultivate three varieties: Gewürztraminer, Muskateller, and Spätburgunder. All our wines are dry, even if some varieties initially seem sweet. But we are always on the lookout for something new, so this year, for the first time, the varieties Souvignier gris and Johanniter will enter our cellar.
Taste
We love to let each wine tell its story. Since we usually produce our wines dry, we emphasize a fine acidity with a well-developed fruit body. At the same time, we try to control the alcohol content of our wines through timely harvesting, as they are fully fermented.
Cellar
After the wines have fermented, they are further processed in our wine cellar. We interfere as little as possible in their maturation process, which requires close monitoring of the wine. Since the cellar is relatively small at 40 sqm, we need to be well-organized in our work steps. Everything works hand in hand and is stored according to the principle of Tetris.
