“Good wine can only be produced with nature, not against it”, Jonas Goldschmidt knows – and the same applies to the neighbors. For positive coexistence in the densely built-up location, a low-noise cooling technology solution from LiquoSystems is used.
Under the motto: “The foundation of a good wine is laid in viticulture,” Goldschmidt Winery focuses on organic viticulture. The Goldschmidts from Pfeddersheim are a picture-perfect family business: Father, mother, and child work together to produce high-quality products in their own company. While senior boss Uli and son Jonas take care of viticulture, mother Elke manages the office and sales. Daughters Isabell and Jeanette have flown the nest, but enjoy every minute they can help out at their parents’ winery.
Organic Farming
Pfeddersheim is a district of Worms in Rheinhessen and is surrounded by picturesque vineyards. Mainly Riesling is cultivated here, and tradition is highly valued. But at the Goldschmidts’, innovation is also embraced. The family council decided 20 years ago to fully commit to organic farming. The winery has long been an official Bioland farm. “Good wine can only be produced with nature, not against it”, say the Goldschmidts. “For a healthy vineyard ecosystem, loose and humus-rich soil is needed. This can store precipitation particularly well and supplies the vines with important nutrients. The diverse vegetation in the vine rows loosens the soil with its roots”, explains Jonas, who has been managing the family business together with his father since completing his viticulture technician training in 2019.
Noise Emission Protection
The fruit character is typical of Goldschmidt wines. This is achieved through temporary cooling during fermentation. “The fermentation process is slowed down by cooling”, explains Jonas Goldschmidt. The clever part: The new cooling system is installed not far from the tanks in the tank storage – and does not affect the temperature development in the room at all. Background: Since the company is located in the middle of a residential area, it is important to protect the neighbors from noise emissions. LiquoSystems has developed and implemented a coherent concept for this: All tanks have been equipped with the Nano Tank individual fermentation control and thus now have a direct control unit. The actual and target display allows for an optimal temperature overview.
Cooling plus Heat Recovery
The AquaZero 19 wine cooling system produces exactly the cooling capacity that the Goldschmidts specify. The warm exhaust air is led outside through a duct – but can also be kept for indoor temperature control in winter via a flap control. “Liquo-Systems was able to meet all our requirements without exception”, Jonas Goldschmidt is pleased. “Noise reduction, optimal space utilization, and heat recovery were implemented exactly as we wished.”
The Customer:
Family Harmony: The Goldschmidts love their profession. The vineyards are their home. Here in Rheinhessen, they annually lay the foundation for top wines, which they also sell very successfully online.
