Vintage report

2007 was the much desired vintage of each Rheingau vintner. An extremely early blossoming, a long ripening period with moderate weather conditions and sufficient precipitation and a picture book autumn brought us a Riesling vintage that could have hardly been better. The development of the vines was well ahead 3 weeks until late summer. In August the warm temperatures and the sunshine hours allowed for a slower maturation with steady acidity levels. The wines could be harvested during more than 5 weeks without being in a hurry. The harvest result was very pleasing: good quantities and aromatic Riesling grapes with high must weight.

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.
