Welcome at Freytags

Dear visitors,

The roots of our family and business are at home in Neustadt Weinstraße in the Palatinate region. Here the Freytags do run a family-owned nursery for about two generations. Our expertise is crafting and breeding of cultivars. Both is literally an in-between of hands-on craftmanship and taking care for plants and environment. Please feel invited to get an insight for our portfolio of cultivars and crossing programmes.

For our understanding classical breeding has naturally accompanied evolution and progress of mankind simultaneously to climate changes that occurred throughout all times. By combining advantageous properties of genetics deriving from classical cultivars and new gene pools wine growers benefit from new cultivars. At the same time preserving established cultivars is an important goal of our work.

 

Volker and Marion Freytag take care for about 1.5 million vines to grow every year. The nursery ranges among the five biggest companies in Germany. We do supply winegrowers throughout Europe and ship into more than 13 different countries.

We support your projects and ideas in wine growing out of 50 years of passionated and practice-oriented nursery experience regarding plantation and site characteristics.

 

Feel free to get in contact with us!

Volker and Marion Freytag

We are the Freytags

Philosophy

We feel responsible for our grapevine plants. Our vine wood for grafting comes mainly from vineyards for which we ourselves are responsible. Besides the "inner", in other words the genetic stability of the vines, soil health, balanced fertilisation and plant care have top priority in these vineyards. On 20 hectares of vineyards, we select during vegetation, we find the most suitable vines and propagate them further.

Our Team

Like our product range, so is our team. We are a good mixture of qualities and knowledge. We see ourselves as an entrepreneurial and human "crossroads" of experiential knowledge, expertise and intuition. Our competence and our ideas, combined with individual support and advice, are at your disposal for the planning and planting of your vineyards.
