Teresa Deufel

Its location between Lake Constance and the Alps makes Lindau a very special wine-growing area. Teresa Deufel’s estate is both the southernmost and, at 400 to 560 metres above sea level, the highest wine-growing area in Germany. The unique moraine rock gives the wines delicate elegance alongside wonderful fruit.

The fact that wine is once again grown in Lindau, on the Bavarian shores of Lake Constance, is by no means a given. Viticulture originally shaped the town between the 13th and 19th centuries. Over the years, however, the wine estates gradually disappeared and the Bayerischer Bodensee wine-growing area lost its importance. Almost 200 years would pass before Teresa’s father and uncle, Hannes Deufel and Ludwig Haug, decided in 1975 to grow vines again alongside their orchards. The two wine lovers were firmly convinced that they could produce a wine on Lindau’s slopes that could hold its own. And indeed, they succeeded in bringing Lindau’s “lake wine” back to success.

In 2009, Teresa began producing “Teresa Deufel Weine” at the family farm. The young winegrower avoids herbicides and sows flowers instead. These attract bees and other beneficial organisms: “This makes our vineyards look a little wilder and more natural,” she explains. Teresa works with wooden barrels and allows the wines to ferment spontaneously, without intervening in the natural process with additives. The resulting wines are particularly fruity and aromatic.
