Heidelberg wine at the top of the list

Situated right in the center of Germany´s largest wine-growing areas, Heidelberg has a long tradition of wines, as the castle´s world-famous big barrel proves. Almost regularly, certain local wines receive national awards.

Recently, the family-owned winery Seeger located at Leimen, close to Heidelberg, received the German Award for the best red wine in the category of red burgundy (for the 2003 Heidelberger Herrenberg). For the Seeger family it is the second time that they top the list of the wine magazine Vinum.
