Vintage report

2015 was marked by weather extremes in the Rheingau. Flowering began on June 8^th. Repeated heat waves with record-breaking maximum temperatures were only briefly interrupted by cool periods during the long, hot summer. One advantage of the drought, though, was that hardly any diseases, fungus, or pests could take hold. The grapes began the maturing process on August 15^th, and the main harvest at our estate began in early October, with pleasingly high must weights. It remained dry and sunny the entire month of October– perfect harvest weather.

 

Terroir

Name of vineyard: Johannisberg. Quartzite-weathered soil with deep and partially gravelly loess and loess-loam.

vinification

During cultivation, focus is placed on the distinctive Riesling character, which results from the attentive fermentation of our wine in stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels. Gentle and individual treatment allows the aromas and flavors specific for each year to come into their own.
