THE PYRAMID OF ORIGIN
OUR WINE CLASSIFICATION
Since the 2018 vintage, we classify our wines according to the origin of their grapes. The three-tier model of estate, village and site wines, which was also anchored in the german wine law in 2021, is based on the pyramid of origin known from the Romance region.
In contrast to the previous classification into predicate levels such as Kabinett, Spätlese or Auslese, which is based on the must weight, i.e. the sugar content of the grapes, we distinguish according to how clearly the wine reflects the characteristics of its sites.
In addition, we have defined further characteristics for ourselves, according to which we also differentiate between the various quality levels in the vineyard and in the cellar, in order to enable clear orientation in our Portoflio.
OUR WINE
CHARACTERISTICS AND VINIFICATION
Gutswein
The basis is formed by estate bottlings, for which we vinify grapes from our various vineyard sites together.
Here you will find easy-to-drink wines, e.g. for a relaxed start into the weekend. In addition to clear varietal wines with a high drinking flow, we show creative cuvées in harmonious compositions. Fruit and freshness are in the foreground.
