Vintage report

After a particularly mild winter which featured almost no freezing temperatures, the shooting of grapes took place as early as mid-April. So the picking of grapes started 15th September and lasted until October 14th, which was one of the shortest harvesting periods of the last years. All the young wines show a particularly beautiful fruit potential with nicely structured acids. Red wines are full in their color and gifted with rich tannins.

Terroir

sourced from vineyards neighbouring their top sites, a typical Lemberger that reflects the unique terroir of the region, Keuper  soil, southern slope exposure

vinification

selective hand-harvesting, careful transportation and treatment, 14 days fermentation on skin, ageing in big wooden barrels
