Since 1856, Freyburg in Saxony-Anhalt has been characterised by sparkling wine production: Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien is the market leader in Germany with more than 100 million bottles sold annually.
Rotkäppchen sparkling wine one of the best-known brands in the country.

 

Viticulture also plays a major role in the town on the Unstrut. After all, the winegrowers of the area press more than 15 different grape varieties on an area of only 685 hectares, above all Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner and Riesling.

 

In September, the people of Freyburg celebrate the locally produced sparkling wines and wines with lots of music: jazz, blues, hits or pop - live and from the DJ. Dozens of stalls serve Saale-Unstrut wines, cellar and vineyard tours are on the programme and the world's largest oak barrel with a capacity of 120,000 litres can also be visited in the historic Rotkäppchen sparkling wine cellar. Highlight for many: The election and enthronement of the area wine queen.
