Wine Description
The late-ripening Welschriesling is very versatile. It can cover almost all quality levels, from basic sparkling wine to easy-drinking, light summer wines to noble sweet quality wines.
Tasting Notes
Our Welschriesling is fresh and lively with stimulating aromas of green apples, limes and meadow flowers. On the palate it is fruity and light-footed, supported by a crisp acidity.
Food Pairing
Goes perfectly with snacks and light summer dishes. A wonderful summer wine on its own and unbeatable as a “Sprizz” mixed with ice-cold soda

Vintage description
The 2023 vintage began with a cool, rainy spring, which ensured slow, even development of the vines. The summer was moderately warm with sufficient moisture, largely avoiding drought stress. A sunny, stable autumn enabled a late, selective harvest under ideal conditions. The grapes presented themselves aromatically, freshly, and perfectly balanced. 2023 is considered a classic, very harmonious vintage with clear fruit and elegant structure.
Harvest and Maturing
The grapes for this wine are harvested separately according to location. The selective harvest of the ripe, healthy grapes is done exclusively by hand. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and pressed directly - without any significant maceration time. The fresh must obtained from this is naturally clarified by settling (sedimentation). Fermentation takes place cooled and therefore particularly gentle on the fruit in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the young wine is racked off the full yeast and allowed to rest on the fine yeast for around three months. The individual base wines are then blended, clarified/filtered and prepared for bottling.
