For the winemakers, 2016 was a year with mixed emotions. The extreme and contrasting weather conditions presented many challenges. The protection of the vines during the summer was particularly difficult and required constant attention and rapid action.In late summer, we were finally rewarded with dry, sunny weather which allowed for good grape development along with a rapid increase in mass. The patience required to let the grapes mature fully on the vine paid off and we are delighted with a high quality harvest with aromatic grapes and are expecting rich wines as a result.
Name of vineyard: Johannisberg - growing wine around the famous Johannisberg was first mentioned in 817 by Emperor Lois the Pious. Here was also the location of the first authentic Riesling grape to be grown on weathered quartzite soils. South facing slope exposure
Gentle and individual treatment of the wine allows the aromas and flavors specific for each year to come into their own.
