Our wines

Many of our vineyards are significantly influenced by the primeval sea in the Mainz Basin. This left behind marine sediments, which solidified into limestone and marl rocks in the course of the earth's history. These solid rocks form the stable basis of our terroir and loose rocks form the fertile layer.

During the following ice ages, large parts of the Mainz Basin were covered with loose rocks such as calcareous loess or, near the Rhine, calcareous drifting sand of varying thickness. These sediments give our vines the necessary root space and water storage for optimal development.

Through many years of cultivation and work, soils combining the best of both terroir worlds were created because the loose and solid rocks mentioned earlier were generally thoroughly mixed. Je nach Lage aber dominiert entweder das Festgestein (Kalk- oder Mergelstein) oder aber das Lockergestein (Löss oder Flugsand). Depending on the location, however, either the solid rock (limestone or marl) or the loose rock (loess or drifting sand) dominates. Depending on the mixing ratio, different soils and thus distinctive terroir wines are formed.

We consistently focus on the slowest possible spontaneous fermentation in wood, stainless steel and, more recently, granite. Until the wine is bottled, we store it gently on yeast at appropriate temperatures to promote inner density and longevity. Sulphurization is delayed as long as possible. All wines are made under vegan conditions.

Our estate wines are carefully pre-clarified and then fermented at a constant temperature.

We bottle the local wines without any frills in the vinification process and try to preserve their puristic clarity. Often kept in wooden barrels and fermented spontaneously.

The single site wines are the most individual wines in our range. Here, the vineyard, the terroir and the grape variety are the most important aspects of the winemaking process. Long rest periods of up to 13 days of mash or must in the refrigerated container, influence the taste and colour of the wine in their own unique way. White wine fermentation is somewhat cloudy and spontaneous. The reds mature exclusively in barriques or tonneaux after the mash fermentation.

We distinguish between three quality segments for our dry wines: estate wines, local wines and single site wines. Furthermore, we also offer fruity and noble sweet wines with the designations "Spätlese", "Auslese" and "Trockenbeerenauslese".

For wine connoisseurs, the single site wine is the best wine to philosophize about. We basically caress the grapes to maturity. Only the best vineyards in the best locations can be used for single site wine production. We pay special attention to handling and the maturing process.
