Luckily the sun came out after many morning showers.The weather changed just on time for the wine queen’s special occasion.
In a beautiful decorated car, we drove through the village, accompanied by the local vice mayor, local mayor, different associations from Puenderich, locals and many guests who travelled from near and far especially to celebrate with us.
After reaching the festival marquee, the former queen Maria passed on her crown, crowning the new wine queen Christina and her princesses Julia and Emma.
Our 2 year term has started and I’m proud and excited of what lies ahead. After a remarkable festival, we have our first fun and experience which shall grow with time. Under the Vines of the Marienburg,
I, Emma Burger am to be crowned Wine Princess in Pünderich on Saturday the 20th of August at our village Festival weekend. I would be delighted If visitors stop by, take part and enjoy a glas of wine with me.

Luckily enough not all of our work is controlled by machines. This way we work closer to nature and discover for example, a bird’s nest. A mid the wine fields between blossoming grapes, with an amazing amount of 6 eggs in it.
So a quick snap shot and carry on with work in the hope that we didn’t disturb and that all 6 birds shall soon hatch.
Just after a 20 minute period of heavy rain we knew the situation was to be taken very seriously, we knew too to expect water in our wine cellar.
Luckily we found only a shallow level of rain water in our cellar and were able to clean it out pretty fast, leaving us time to help, the fire brigade and our neighbours. The village main road was pretty flooded as were many cellars.
Unfortunately the damage that had been left behind from the storm was composed to see by monday 30.05.2016. Damage through nature. By the afternoon we were surrounded by more rain and storm, again the fire brigade had to take action. A great amount of water is still streaming from the forest, the

Now the beginning of September you notice how the red grapes begin to take colour. In roughly 4-6 weeks we expect to harvest our Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) grapes.
Despite very warm and dry summer conditions the vines are growing enorm. This means that the vine tips must be cut down to a certain level.
As seen this happens with the use of the trimming machine, which also can be used in some of our steep fields. Although some of our fields can only be trimmed by hand. Depending on the growth, the vines must be trimmed a few times in the summer…
In July the rest of the wine has been bottled emptying the barrels, making room for the new wines this harvest. The wines from 2014 have matured to a very good quality despite the year being extremely turbulent.
Karl-Josef manages the Family business, which he took over from his parents in 1990. Together with his wife Deborah he masters all the work that falls upon the fields and the winery.
Born in Northern Ireland, she is involved in the company since 1993 and is a calming influence to the winery. Besides the work in the fields and taking care of the family, she also spoils their guests in the winery`s „Straußwirtschaft“ bistro with delicious treats from her kitchen.
Jonas supports his father with the tasks in and around the winery besides his apprenticeship as a winegrower. After his studies as a technical winegrower he hopes to one day take over the company.
Emma is still a schoolpupil, she enjoys helping her mother where and when she can, serving the guests in the „Straußwirtschaft“ bistro, especially when it`s busy.
The senior bosses in the Burger residence, Alex who considering his proud age of over 85 still helps in the winery and has an open ear to customers questions both in English and German language, Josefa welcomes our guests with an open door when we are working in the fields.
Wine growing has now been operated in our family business since 4 Generations.
Our Vines grow mostly on the steep mountains at one of the best regions of the Moselle.
We combine modern cellar technique and traditional methods, to give each wine it`s individuelle righteousness.
The passion for our work delivers each wine it`s own expression, each individuelle bottle produced with a lot of devosion.
Our wines are developed with harmony taking nature into great account and consideration.
Natural credentials are provided from the rich Moselle region which provides us with authentic Rieslingwines and there distinctive characters.
Depending on the type of wine, it is stored in traditional wood barrels or stainless steel tanks.
