Additional Information

The grapes for our premium cuvée grow on a fairly steep plot close to the winery on young shell-limestone. The top and the bottom soil of the vineyard are more focused on clay, the middle section is dry and rocky. Vines are about 35 years old and have been farmed organically for more than 20 years. The destemmed grapes always ferment quick being pumped up with nutrition and surrounded by diverse wild yeast populations. In 2017 fermentation took six days. After pressing the wine went into a 600l barrel, a barrique and a tank before it got racked & blended into a relatively new 1200l barrel in summer 2019 (so it comes with a gentle welcome kiss from Franconian oak). Bottled in March 2020.
something
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.
