Wine, vibe and conviviality: Beurer and Bauerle enrich the Stuttgarter Weindorf

 

This year, different bottles will be opened at the Weindorf: Adrian Beurer and Johannes Bauerle will compete side by side in 2024 to bring good wine and honest craftsmanship to the Stuttgarter Weindorf. The intrepid young winemaker Beurer, son of the organic titan Jochen Beurer from Remstal, is currently still studying in the wine mecca of Geisenheim, while Bauerle is celebrating the tenth anniversary of his Johannes B winery in Fellbach this year. At the Weindorf what belongs together finally comes together: Both rely on organic cultivation, both stand for idiosyncratic, characterful wines that are high quality but not complicated. But above all, the good friends know how to celebrate. These are real guys, home-grown wines from the region who are passionate about what they do. The best conditions for their first joint arbor, which stands for regionality, enjoyment and the young world of wine. Because at the wine village, the two say, it should first and foremost be about wine from the region. "We want to show that absolutely fantastic wines are produced in Stuttgart and the region," says Bauerle. That sounds confident, but he can afford it: many of his wines have received awards from renowned trade magazines such as Falstaff and Meininger. Now the two want to usher in a new era at the Stuttgarter Weindorf. To do so, they have invested a lot of blood, sweat and tears in their appearance at the traditional wine festival: a wooden arbor made by a regional carpenter, plus an eye-catching bar made from old champagne shakers: more of a festival vibe than a Hocketse. And certainly one or two legendary after-show parties. As we all know, wine can be anything, and should represent everything from a Trollinger handle glass to the best Riesling vineyards in the region. Beurer and Bauerle show that wine should first and foremost be fun. The young and the wild are ready - the Weindorf can be excited.
