Bibo Runge Winery is driven by a shared passion for creating exceptional wines that reflect the artistry of the winemaking process. Founded by Markus, who left a 25-year career to pursue his love for viticulture, and joined by Monika, the winery embodies their joint philosophy: crafting wines that are rich in aroma, meticulously produced, and showcase the natural essence of their origins. For Bibo Runge, each vintage is a thoughtful exploration of what makes a wine truly great—every step grounded in patience, quality, and a deep respect for nature.
Their winemaking process emphasizes time as a crucial element. Bibo Runge supports the Slow Food movement, believing that good wine needs time to reveal its potential. Every grape is handpicked to ensure that only the best go into their wines. Extended maceration periods allow for the fullest extraction of flavors, and each batch undergoes gentle pressing using a traditional basket press. Natural fermentation with wild yeasts, combined with slow aging in oak barrels, ensures that each wine develops a distinct personality over time.
Sustainability is central to Bibo Runge’s ethos. As a certified member of FAIR'N GREEN since 2021, the winery integrates eco-friendly and socially responsible practices into its operations. With one of the smallest CO2 footprints in the industry, they are dedicated to further reducing their impact and are actively working to establish a nationwide bottle deposit system in Germany. Bibo Runge’s dedication to sustainability and time-honored craftsmanship produces wines with unparalleled depth, inviting wine lovers to savor every sip in harmony with nature.
