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.
