About this winery

The foundation of the winery where we vinify our wines today was laid in 1679. For more than 300 years, mixed farming had been practiced in the flatlands and on the terraces around Langenlois, with viticulture playing only a minor role. It wasn’t until the second half of the last century that the farmers working in the region began focusing exclusively on winegrowing, drawing on a wealth of experience that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Product notes

Patience was the buzzword of the year 2014. Drought and two frost nights in April shortly after bud break. Best conditions then until flowering and beyond with alternating sun and rain. High amount of rainfall in September brought increased decay pressure and significantly more work on canopy management and harvesting. Low yields and the cool vintage provide us with delicate and elegant wines with finesse and slightly lower alcohol levels.

Production notes

The grapes themselves specified the harvest date. When they reached just the right ripeness in colour, taste and consistency, they were gathered by hand and placed in small buckets before being brought carefully to the winery‘s cellar in harvest boxes. Without delay, the grapes were transferred directly from the boxes to the press. At a pressure of 1 bar, the whole bunches were gently pressed without any damage to the ridges. The juice flowed into steel fermenters, where the controlled and temperature-regulated fermentation took place.After two months on the fine lees, the Riesling was racked into oak barrels and matured for 16 months. Then the wine was filled into bottles, where it spent another six months resting. After a total of 24 months in the cellar, the wine was released for sale.

Tasting notes

Warm-spicy nose of porcini mushrooms and forest soil, subtle nut notes, blood oranges with floral accents, quite elegant, some fire stone, slightly exotic; lots of fruit, peach, papaya and sugar melon with a touch of vanilla, taut and compact, delicate, racy, rather long finish.
