VDP Ortswein / Village Wine

(See also: VDP / Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter, Vom Schiefer, Vom Vulkan)

The middle level of the vineyard classification of the elite VDP wine producers’ association between the GGs at the top and the Gutsweine / Estate wines (multi-village blends) at the bottom. Every VDP Ortswein / Village Wine must come exclusively from the vineyards belonging to one village/commune. At Gut Hermannsberg two of our best value wines are the village wines Vom Schiefer and Vom Vulkan. Slowly but surely this rather new category is establishing a firm place in the wine market and looks certain to grow in importance during the coming years.
