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

Due to a warm March and April the buds came out early. April 22nd, we had a cold night with temperatures of –4 degrees which destroyed more than 60 % of the young leaves. A warm summer followed by humid August and September, which resulted into Botrytis infections. Saarstein Estate started picking very early, at the end of September. A lot of infected grapes were thrown away and the picking was a very hard selection. 2017 offers typical clean Riesling wines with fresh fruit, nice acidity and good balance.
