Winery

Experience in making wine for more than a century, the excellent soil in Langenlois and various established varieties characterize our family-owned winery. Passionatly we expend a lot of effort every year to finish our wines with a personal touch, which is important to us. Working in line with nature out in the vineyards is self-evident for us. This is why we have pursued sustainable wine growing throughout decades and we had our estate certified organic in 2010.

Vineyard

The single-vineyard (Ried) Hasel lies in the north-east of Langenlois. The ground consists of calcareous soil and contains sandy and partially rocky elements in deeper layers. The Riesling vines are 40+ years in age and result in a very rich Riesling full of finesse.

Wine Making

Only the healthiest grapes remain on the vine during the pre-selection process by hand, before the Hasel vineyard is harvested. Whole bunch pressing and yet some time on skins result in an elegant wine with a good structured backbone.
