The Climb
As winemaker at Kaltenbach Weine, Bernhard Kaltenbach works across a range that includes Spätburgunder, Baden whites, Sekt, and Secco. The scope matters: this is not a single-format cellar, but a portfolio that requires attention to red wine, white wine, and sparkling bottlings within one estate framework. In practical terms, the role asks for a broad seasonal sense of timing and balance across styles. Gundelfingen gives the work its wider agricultural frame. Kaltenbach Weine is tied not only to wine, but also to orchard products and seasonal farm goods, so the estate’s output follows more than one harvest and more than one calendar. That structure keeps the winemaking grounded in the same cycle that shapes the produce, with place and timing carrying equal weight.

As winemaker at Kaltenbach Weine, Bernhard Kaltenbach works within a setting shaped by both viticulture and agriculture, with Spätburgunder, Baden whites, Sekt, and Secco part of the estate’s wider picture.
