Weingut

Schloss Saarstein liegt auf einem steil abfallenden Hügel aus grauem Schiefer, umgeben von den 11 Hektar großen Weinbergslagen, mit Blick auf die Saar. Das Gut mit "Château-Charakter" wird von Christian Ebert allein geführt.

Jahrgangsbericht

Bud break and blossoming started the season off comparable with vintage 2004. A warm July fostered the development of the grapes, but a little cooler August slowed the ripeness down again. Marvelous weather in September and a golden October brought them grapes with a surprisingly high quality. Riesling lovers will adore these wines. Vintage 2005 combines both positive aspects of the previous vintages: the high ripeness of 2003 in combination with the typical vibrant Riesling acidity of vintage 2004.
