Andreas Spreitzer

The Path

Since 2016, Andreas Spreitzer has been the managing director of Weinhaus J. Spreitzer GmbH, a role that asks for both administration and judgment. In practice, it means holding a longstanding family name steady while making sure it still works in the present tense. Since 2024, he has also been a shareholder of Weingut Josef Spreitzer eGbR, placing him squarely in the ownership structure that shapes the estate’s direction.

The Work Today

The center of that work remains Weingut Josef Spreitzer in Oestrich-Winkel. The estate is where family legacy becomes operating reality, and where continuity is maintained through ordinary decisions rather than ceremony.

Signature

Andreas Spreitzer serves as managing director.

In Their Words “Without him, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Bernd is a keen and incisive taster. When he’s in the cellar he shows his greatest strength: he’s sober, precise, fastidious and, as such, his work is extremely accurate.” “I love to reminisce about an amazing wine tasting with very old Riesling wines that I was once able to take part in. The youngest vintage we tasted was 1908! Wines over 100 years old – phenomenal!”

Acclaim

The scale of Riesling’s lifespan is one of the clearest measures of the category’s depth, and Andreas Spreitzer points to that directly in recalling a tasting of very old vintages. The youngest bottle in that lineup was 1908, turning the tasting into a practical lesson in longevity and a reminder that great wine is built to be read across decades, not just released and consumed. His remarks about Bernd read the same way: as a description of cellar discipline rather than praise for its own sake. “Sober, precise, fastidious” is the language of work done carefully, where tasting is used to protect standards and accuracy is treated as part of the craft, not as an afterthought.
