The Vineyards
Our Riesling vineyards are planted on very steeply inclined slopes. facing
South and well secluded in the deep-cut Mosel valley.
The soil is formed from erode slate, intermingled with blue and black slate
stone which warms quickly. An optimal micro-climate has evolved for
Riesling with the slate retaining the day`s heat for cool nights and the Mosel
river acting as a reservoir for warmth and moisture. It is only under these
special conditions that the noblest varietal can unfold its full potential.
Nowhere else can offer these conditions to produce wines of healthy low
alcohol content coupled with layers of mineral extracts, freshness, fine fruit,
elegant balance and crisp acidity.
