Vineyard Site
The grapes come from selected parcels in the high-altitude vineyard sites around Langenlois, with the aim of capturing Langenlois in all its geological, topographical and climatic diversity. The rocky soils, the exposures of the vineyards and the special climate around Langenlois provide ideal terrain for the Riesling vines. The old vines are rooted in mica schist and gneiss soils and enjoy an interplay of sunny summer days and cool nights.

Vintage description
Nach dem trocknen und kühlen Start ins Jahr, erwachte die Natur mit den ersten Niederschlägen im April. Auch die Blüte ließ heuer wieder etwas auf sich warten und brachte ein aus Sonne und Wolken wechselndes Frühjahr mit sich. Durch den heißen, trockenen Sommer konnten die Trauben harmonisch heranreifen. Anfang September starteten wir voller Freude mit der Sekt-Lese. Kurz hielten wir den Atem an, als uns am 13. September ein Hagelunwetter traf. Der Rest der Lese verlief wie im Bilderbuch und wir schauen dem großartigem Jahrgang 2023 mit glücklichen Gesichtern entgegen.
