ADAMS WEIN RHEINHESSEN, GERMANY
The Ingelheim terroir is something very special, even unique, because the soils are massively characterized by limestone weathering rock that was formed around 50 million years ago. There is nothing else like it in Germany, and the soils are actually quite similar to those in Burgundy, which is the reason why Simone Adams’ passion is almost exclusively for Pinot varieties. She cultivates 25 acres of vineyards in the best locations of Ingelheim. This is an ideal size to implement their philosophy of gentle winemaking that is in tune with nature. In this respect, less really is more, where they to respond to the individual processes in the vineyards and to carry out the appropriate, really necessary measures. Simone Adams’ estate is farmed biodynamically, and she subscribes to the particularly scientific ecological approach of regenerative viticulture as well. We see ourselves as a team that works and learns together and has set itself the goal of allowing the beauty and vitality of their vineyards to be tasted in all Adams wines.
