Auxerrois Sekt 2021

The dry northerly winds bring freshness to our region. We always have new ideas and one good idea was to establish this winegrowers' association in 1934 with 27 growers. Over the years, it has grown into the largest wine producer in the new federal states and today cultivates around 380 hectares of vineyards.

A total of around 360 winegrowers work for the community. Fairness, trust, the shared joy of viticulture and joint cooperation make each individual vineyard location part of the co-operative work of art.
