Riesling
A characteristic of our wines is the passion to vinify a single grape in such a way that hills, valleys, and slopes can be tasted. It doesn’t take more than Riesling. Our river landscape with its many configurations offers a perfect playground for this grape variety. Like no other grape, Riesling is able to absorb the terroir and the characteristics of each hill.

cask number
Each cask, corresponds to a distinctive style and a special point of origin. The must from specific vineyards is always vinified in the same container as the previous year. The cask is thereby unique. The wild yeast flora inside the cask “hibernates” in the fine fibers of the wood and ferments the same site again in a style comparable to its predecessors. According to grandfather’s custom, all wines are given this number, the house number in the vaulted cellar.
