The grapes come from Rüdesheim, from approximately 40-year-old vines in the historic Backhaus, Engerweg, and Gessel plots. Steep slopes, poor soil, and abundant sunshine produce ripe fruit with a cool, mineral core. Hand-harvesting ensures maximum selection in the vineyard and perfect grapes in the cellar.
After picking, the bunches are gently pressed in a traditional basket press. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with natural yeasts and contains 6 percent whole berries, which adds tension and aroma. This is followed by 14 months of aging on fine lees in large oak barrels. What does unfiltered mean in Riesling, and what do you taste? Unfiltered means the wine is bottled without fining agents or filtration, preserving texture, depth, and natural aromas, with a clear, clean expression in the glass.
The label features three silhouettes representing the daughters of the owner and cellar master. This personal signature underscores the importance of this cuvée to the estate, a family wine in the most literal sense, created to pass on the pure character of Riesling and its provenance to the next generation.
Riesling 100 percent from Rüdesheim. This grape is known in the Rheingau region for its high natural acidity, citrus and stone fruit notes, and a pronounced mineral backbone that can age beautifully.
