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.
