Manufaktur Jörg Geiger: PriSecco and more from the Swabian Alb

The Manufaktur Jörg Geiger is located in Schlat on the Albtrauf of the Swabian Alb. Jörg Geiger is a trained chef; in 1997, at the age of 22, he took over his parents' inn, the Gasthof Lamm, and a year later he began working with the "Champagner Bratbirne" – an old, tart variety of pear from the meadow orchards surrounding the village. Today, non-alcoholic and alcoholic specialties are created from this fruit, which the manufactory calls "Swabian Meadow Fruit." All steps, from delivery and maturation to bottling, take place at the manufactory; distilling continues to be carried out at the Gasthof Lamm.

PriSecco and non-alcoholic cuvées

In 2003, Jörg Geiger bottled his first PriSecco: the PriSecco Red Fruity with sour cherry and blackcurrant, which is still made according to the original recipe today. The PriSecco White Fragrant followed in 2005, and later Rose Magic, Apple Symphony, and seasonal varieties. PriSecco is not a Prosecco, but its own brand: sparkling compositions of fruit juices, herbs, blossoms, and spices, juice-based and with 0.0% alcohol. Alongside these are the organic classics like Organic Rosé and the numbered cuvées, which Jörg Geiger developed as standalone food pairings for the catering industry – such as the Cuvée No. 7 with plum, the first of which was created in 2009.

GRAD°WANDERUNG, TeaSecco, and ViSecco

Since 2023, the manufactory has been dealcoholizing dry wines in its own facility and refining them with juices, herbs, and hydrolats. The degree number on the label of GRAD°WANDERUNG 32 Degree Riesling and others indicates the temperature at which the alcohol was removed. TeaSecco combines fruit with tea, while ViSecco sparkles on the basis of dealcoholized wines.

Cider, sparkling wine, dessert wine, and brandies

Alcoholic options include cider, pear sparkling wine made from the Champagner Bratbirne, the apple vermouth !WEHMUT, port-style dessert wines made from apple, pear, and cherry, as well as wood-barrel-aged fruit brandies. Sale only to persons of the legal minimum age.
