Wine Description

Our red wines express the lighter, fresher potential of the region. Grapes from various loess sites are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel, with no more than 10 days on the skins to maintain brightness and drinkability. Best enjoyed slightly chilled (around 12°C), showcasing cherry fruit and herbal notes. Despite its freshness, this is no simple “sipper” but a structured wine with fine tannins and a clear sense of purpose.

Winery

We love our village of Grossriedenthal. It is the origin and the home of our wines. The surrounding countryside is our little world in which we wine growers farm various different sites. Since 1976, organic farming has been the foundation of our activities today, with biodynamic winemaking becoming part of our philosophy in 2023. We might look back, sideways, but we always keep our sights on the future. With our trust in nature, the joy we feel when working in the vineyards and the passion for making something extraordinary out of our grapes, we are creating wines that say a lot about their origins and about us. Honest, authentic and full of life. We are a member of OETW & Respekt BIODYN.
