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.
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.
Schlossberg vineyard, Keuper clay soil with alabaster and shale inclusion. South to southwest exposure with 40- 70% gradient
Single bow. Selective hand-picking in small boxes. Gentle pressing, ageing in large wooden barrels on the yeast
