Additional Information

Alcohol:11.5% Bottle size:75cl Average age of vines: 30 years The grapes for this cuvée grow on a fairly steep plot close to the winery on young shell-limestone. The tope and the bottom of the vineyard are a bit fatter, the middle section is dry and rocky. Vines are about 30 years old and have been farmed organically for almost 20 years. The 4th vintage of our beloved Heimat Silvaner was harvested in the end of September. The must of theses grapes has always been fermenting like a well oiled machine but the last warm days of September increased the speed. Fermentation was over before a week had passed. While the crushed berries were fermenting a part of the stems was drying in the sun and added back in a few days before pressing. The total skin-contact time was about two weeks. After pressing the wine went into the same barriques that were used previously with part of it going to a tank.

About 2Naturkinder

Our urban winery was founded in 1843 in the northern part of Bavaria on the River Main. Since 2012 we have turned it upside down: all of our 6ha are farmed organically and we’ve put a lot of effort in the soil which we understand to be a living being with desires and aversions. Living soil allows for doing less and is home to healthy plants producing the grapes for our wines. Although we don’t add or take away anything grapes don’t become wine by themselves and there are many decisions to make from harvest to bottling. Making these decisions we follow our ideas of a perfect wine while accepting the individuality and personality of each vineyard and wine. We aim to produce lively and energetic wines which come from a healthy soil and benefit from the diversity around them.
