Hargardun Trocken 2022 Bibo Runge

HARGARDUN Trocken 2022

A Historic Riesling from Hallgartener Würzgarten

HARGARDUN Trocken 2022 by Bibo Runge is a dry Riesling with strong character, made exclusively from hand-picked grapes from the historic Würzgarten vineyard overlooking Hallgarten. As early as 1112, the village was first mentioned as Hargardun, meaning flax garden.

Vineyard Philosophy

The grapes come only from carefully selected plots and are harvested by hand to ensure top quality. After harvest, the grapes undergo 24 hours of skin contact to extract maximum flavour.

Winemaking Approach

After maceration, the grapes are gently pressed in a traditional French basket press. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in oak barrels, where the wine ages for at least 12 months, gaining structure and refined elegance.

Colour: bright straw yellow
Nose: mineral and elegant, notes of ripe fruit and white flowers
Palate: dry, precise, with vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish

Perfect with fish dishes, antipasti, sushi and Asian cuisine.

Bibo Runge: The History of the Winery

Bibo Runge is a historic winery located in Oestrich-Winkel, on the banks of the Rhine River, in one of Germany’s most prestigious wine regions. Here, the Runge family has carried on the winemaking tradition for generations, with a deep respect for nature and the land. Their goal is simple yet ambitious: to create high-quality, authentic wines that express the unique character of the region. From the very beginning, Bibo Runge’s philosophy has been based on valuing slowness and patience, essential elements for producing elegant and long-lived wines.

Vineyard Philosophy

For Bibo Runge, wine is a natural product and every vintage begins with a fundamental question: “What does a good wine need?” The answer is always the same: “Good wine needs time.” This principle guides all vineyard practices, where grapes are hand-picked to select only the best clusters. The winery applies sustainable farming methods, certified by FAIR’N GREEN since 2021, committed to minimizing environmental impact and promoting biodiversity. With a strong focus on sustainability, Bibo Runge is already among the wineries with the lowest CO2 footprint in Germany and actively works to introduce a nationwide bottle deposit system.

Winemaking Approach

Bibo Runge’s winemaking process is based on a combination of long maceration, gentle pressing, and slow aging in wooden barrels. After harvest, grapes undergo extended maceration to extract maximum aromatic substances, followed by gentle pressing using a basket or Champagne press. Fermentation occurs exclusively with natural yeasts to allow the most natural aging possible. This approach enables the wines to develop intense aromas and complexity, typical of products where time and patience are fundamental. For Bibo Runge, the path to excellent wine is found through the discovery of slowness, a value reflected in every production phase and guaranteeing a unique tasting experience.
