At 35 hl/ha, yields are particularly low for our three red VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS (GG). This is a decisive base for the highest possible quality. The respective microclimate, slope gradient, and soil are reflected in site specific nuances in aroma and taste. As in the traditional style of Burgundian vinification, fermentation takes place in open wooden vats with a high proportion of whole clusters, sometimes up to 100%.
The Centgrafenberg vineyard in Bürgstadt has always been the home of our winery. This wine is our timeless classic; it displays cool power, ferrous minerality, and elegance. In contrast, the Schlossberg in Klingenberg, historically considered a “grand cru” site, benefits from the heat that accumulates in its extremely steep vineyard terraces, which results in a wine with a warm character. The aromas and flavours are vivacious and silky; sour red cherry distinguishes the fruit. “Such a small town, but due to its delicious wine, it seduces from afar,” is a modern English translation of what Matthäus Merian the Elder wrote about Klingenberg in 1646. The history of the Hundsrück vineyard, the flagship of our winery, can be traced back to the beginning of the 16th century. The Grosses Gewächs from this meagre, rocky site possesses cool power and aromas of sour cherry and wild rose. The Hundsrück is persistent on the palate and offers the aristocratic fragrance of a great Burgundy. We are generally quite proud of the long ageing potential of our wines.
