The traditional estate is owned by the Eser family and located in the Rheingau region. They´re a member of the VDP association and the CHARTA group.
The year started with high temperatures in April and early sprouting of the vines about two weeks earlier than the 30-year average. In the high summer months of July and August there was a prolonged heat period with almost continuous temperatures of 30 to 35 °C. Rainfall in mid-June was almost nonexistent. Due to the early maturity, the Rieslings could be harvested during the period from September 17th to October 5th. Healthy grapes and dry weather brought a relaxed autumn with qualities from QbA to the finest selection. The highlight of the harvest was the selection of a few Botrytis infected berries, which brought a high-quality Trockenbeerenauslese.
