Gewürztraminer, Gelber Traminer & Roter Traminer were planted in the upper, stony part of the Ried Pellingen. A fully ripened and opulent style coupled with the typical, mineral Senftenberger acidity make for a very complex Traminer that is both typical and exemplary. For aficionados of this ancient and very expressive noble variety.

After fermentation, extended maturing on the lees before bottling in late August

Vines forty-five years of age yield this pithy and exemplary Veltliner, with its beautiful peppery spice.

Individualistic terroir-wine from a steep slope of mica schist – by no means a wine for vinological techno-fans! Glistening golden yellow, apricot fruit packed in salty minerality and invigorating acidity give the wine its weightless elegance and grace, despite its substantial power. This wine wins the best prognosis for future enjoyment (if you do not drink it before!)

Ideally typical Zweigelt with classic red berry fruit. Elegant and refined on the palate, the finish is harmonious and charming. A very wholesome Zweigelt with ‘that extra something’ in the flavour profile

If you are familiar with the wines of the  Mosel, Saar & Ruwer – which we appreciate very much – you will know exactly what we mean! In some vintages when the structural acidity is right, wines with this invigorating relationship between sugar and acidity, without appreciable alcohol, can also be produced here in cool Senftenberg. Buoyant and elegant wines with the best aging potential.
 

Vinification: At harvest-time a selection is made of the ripest berries, especially those without a great deal of botrytis. Only the highest-elevation vineyards come into play here, to obtain the characteristic acidity. Long, cool fermentation for up to five months, followed by filtration before bottling. 

Medium golden yellow. Intense aromas of stone fruit, fine notes of honey, ripe pineapple and passion fruit, yellow currants – sweet and lovely. Very complex & creamy texture, with apricot & yellow tropical fruit. Racy, well-integrated acidity. Mineral finish, spicy fruit in the aftertaste. 

Great aging potential. A Riesling jewel.
