Weingut

Die Familie Castell ist Eigentümerin von 70 Hektar feinster fränkische Weinlagen. Die Mehrheit ist mit der Rebsorte Silvaner bepflanzt. Das Terroir ist geprägt von kontinentalem Klima und Gipskeuperböden, was den Weinen ihre würzige, kräftige Note verleiht.

Jahrgangsbericht

Following a dry winter and spring time the shooting of the vines started already in April, but it was suddenly disrupted by night frost up to minus 6° C in April. At the end of August an early crop could be envisaged, and indeed they started harvesting the early varieties already on September 7, very early compared to the preceding years.
