“Felbling” is a combination of the words “February” and “Elbling.” It is a celebration we started in 2019, largely because the word sounded funny. But also, because Elbling needed (and needs) a voice; it needs someone to tell its story.
As the proprietor and winemaker at Weingut Hild, Matthias Hild, said to me once: “Here we have the oldest cultivated grape in Germany; the wine the Romans drank. We have the famous kimmeridgian soil. And there is no confusion here with sweet wines or not; Elbling has always been dry. And still, despite all these advantages, we have one big problem. No one knows what the **** Elbling is.”
We are out to change this, one Felbling at a time. This is the Felbling podcast you’ve been waiting for. This podcast was recorded at vom Boden studios in Felbling, 2023, to celebrate Felbling 2023. Editing, production and music by @skinny.pablo
