Vines forty-five years of age yield this pithy and exemplary Veltliner, with its beautiful peppery spice. Distinctive, fine and clear Veltliner fruit expresses the character of this wine, all the way from the inviting nose to the long, robust finish. Élevage in a large wooden cask, with a view toward long aging potential.
 

Vinification: The physiologically fully-ripened grapes from old vines are harvested by hand in several passes from mid-October to the beginning of November; a portion of the grapes are destemmed and left on the skins for 10–12 hours of maceration. Slow fermentation on its own yeasts in large oak casks and stainless steel gives the wine its aromatic complexity. After fermentation, extended maturation on the lees before bottling in late August.

Vinification: Perfect, fully ripened grapes from Ried Pellingen are selected by hand from mid-October to early November. Old vines and minimal yields. A portion of the grapes is destemmed and left on the skins for 10–12 hours of maceration. The leisurely fermentation in 500-litre acacia barrels with ambient yeasts gives the wine its special style & character. Batonage (yeast stirring) is employed in a focussed manner to develop the wine’s full potential. It can take up to 18–24 months before the wine – according to our taste – is ready for bottling). Minimal movement, gravity feed & lots of time! Limited!

Lovely aromatic profile of apricot and peach. On the palate, a fine balance between fruit and mineral acidity, which gives the wine its distinctive and vibrant profile all the way into the invigorating finish.

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!)

Slow fermentation in stainless steel promotes aromatic intensity, while the slate soil gives the wine its youthful severity and thus its great Riesling potential. After fermentation, aging in wooden cask with batonage (stirring the yeast) and extended maturing on the lees before bottling at the end of August.

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.

Vinification: Harvested by hand from mid-October to mid-November; the highly aromatic grapes (Gewürz- Gelber & Roter Traminer) are destemmed and left on the skins for 2–4 days of maceration. Small quantities are fermented on the skins. The wine evolves its character from slow fermentation in large wooden cask & stainless steel with ambient yeasts. After fermentation, extended maturing on the lees before bottling in late August

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.
