Portrait of Franz Georg Eger

i. Biography

From training as a wine technician in Bad Kreuznach to taking over Weingut Eger in 2011, Franz Georg Georg moved from study into stewardship through the trade itself. The route matters: technical training, then responsibility for a house, then the day-to-day work of shaping what reaches the glass.

The Work Today

At Eger-Wein in Oestrich-Winkel, Franz Georg Georg works as managing director and presents the estate as more than a cellar door. Guided wine tours and wagon rides frame the offer, with snacks and wine during the breaks, so the visitor meets the work in motion and in pause. The house style is set around flavoursome, well-balanced wines. That gives Franz Georg Georg’s offering a clear line: the experience stays tied to the vineyard and the glass, rather than to spectacle.

Signature

Franz's signature dishes include Winkel Riesling, Oestrich Riesling trocken, Roter Riesling feinherb, Pinot Noir Rosé feinherb, and »Secco Rosé« trocken.

Acclaim

Winkel Riesling is the bottle most closely associated with Franz Georg Georg’s style, described as tangy and especially recommended for a break from hiking in the vineyard. It shows the same emphasis found across the range: wine as part of the day outdoors, not separate from it. That balance runs through the wider list as well. Flavoursome, well-balanced wines sit alongside guided tours, wagon rides, and a vineyard stop, with the Riesling holding the center of the offer.
