- Description
- We make Riesling differently, in a special way, and also thought-provoking. We want to offer our customers high-quality wines, wines that show their origins and are authentic, far removed from the masses. No frills, no tricks, pure wine! Steep slopes are lived and desired, the steeper the better. The vineyards are located on the steep slopes of Bernkastel, Liesertal, Wehlen and Ürzig. A large part of the area is planted with ungrafted and very old vines. Each vineyard has its own characteristics. Each type of soil in combination with the location and its associated microclimate results in a unique wine with a specific character. The winery is certified as an organic operation.
Slate is the classic location for Riesling. There are many good vineyards. But the undisputed “master class” is the steep slope. Only this has the microclimate and soil that turns a good Riesling into a great Riesling. Steep slopes are lived and desired, the more the better. As a rule, we have no influence during the wine-making process. On the contrary: the work in the cellar is reduced to “nothing”: there are no additives, no finings and even filtration is only carried out at the end of the aging process, just before bottling. On the other hand, we work very hard on qualitative improvements in the vineyard. Every step of the process, no matter how small, is considered here. The harvest itself takes place in several steps and from late harvest quality onwards, every grape is subjected to a strict selection process.
