Harald Hexamer

The Path

At Weingut Hexamer in Meddersheim, Nahe, Germany, Harald Hexamer works from the vineyard outward: fruit-led wines, varietal clarity, and a profile that stays tied to the soil rather than to the mainstream.

The Work Today

Riesling sits at the center of the estate’s cellar work, and Harald Hexamer says so plainly: “Our heart beats for Riesling.” The cellar role is framed as controlled adjustment, not invention — the season’s vineyard work sets the terms, and winemaking is there to optimize, not overwrite. That approach is stated just as directly in the house line: “The striving for the highest quality is the guiding principle for everything we do — because we love wines with character!”

Signature

Harald's signature dishes include 2020 Riesling Trocken, Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg Riesling Beerenauslese, Hexamer Riesling QUARZIT, and Hexamer Riesling Trocken 2023.

In Their Words “Good wines are made in the vineyard. In the cellar, the winemaker can only optimize and tease out what the grape and careful year-round work have given him.” “Fruit-driven, varietally typical wines. Wines that reflect the soil on which they grew. Wines with a mind of their own, that do not repeat the mainstream.”
