unfiltered | unfined | 11 months on the lees

Scheurebe, the variety with probably the greatest connection to our homeland, was crossed in 1916 directly in our home town of Alzey, only about 5-6 kilometers air distance from our winery. 

It has been cultivated at Heiligenblut since its experimental stage, before official approval as a grape variety. Already as young boys, year after year we stood in our oldest plot, now almost 60 years old, picking grapes and have been deeply connected with the variety ever since. Our Scheurebe Alte Reben comes from this very vineyard.

After harvesting by hand the wine went through some days of skin maceration. It was then pressed and packed into used small wooden barrels, the wine was on the full lees until just before the 2022 harvest, when it was then bottled without filtration, without fining and with only a small amount of sulfur added - that's it. 

A heart for Scheurebe.
