Matthias Hild

The Path

Before winemaking set the rhythm, Matthias Hild worked in handball. He played at HSG Konstanz U23 and then at HSG Konstanz, and that background shows in the way the work is described: timing, concentration, and reading the moment before it opens fully. Those are useful habits in the vineyard and cellar alike, where decisions made early carry through the season and into the bottle. For Matthias, that earlier chapter now reads as preparation for the repeatable, focused work that defines his role today.

The Work Today

At Weingut Matthias Hild in Wincheringen, the work is rooted in a family-held scale. Matthias and Jonas farm about five hectares, and that size keeps the craft close: vineyard and cellar stay tied together through daily attention rather than distance. Elbling is the center of the estate, and the wines are built around that commitment. The focus is exacting by necessity; it asks for a detailed understanding of the grape and a steady hand in how it is shaped.

Signature

Matthias's signature dishes include Elbling Sekt Brut #52, 'Zehnkommanull' Elbling Trocken, and Elbling Trocken. Those bottlings all return to the same material: Elbling handled with intent. Elbling Sekt Brut #52 and Elbling Sekt Brut place the grape in sparkling form, while 'Zehnkommanull' Elbling Trocken and Elbling Trocken show it in a dry, direct register. Taken together, they describe the cellar logic at Weingut Matthias Hild: consistent, focused, and tied to the five hectares Matthias Hild farms with Jonas in Wincheringen.
