Winemaking and character of the wines
Low yields and the use of cultivated yeasts result in well crafted wines which
are raised in stainless steel in a modern facility. One can taste the result of
professional care and vast experience in these full, nicely balanced Riesling
wines with mineraly components in the bouquet and vibrant, but fine acidity
in the body. A Sekt (sparkling wine) of great elegance is also made from
Riesling using the champagne method.
The WEISENBERG vineyard is facing southeast and has deeper soil and more
weathered slate. Here the wines are more minerally and fleshy. They tend to
be more elegant and fruit-focused. The grapes are mostly used to produce
medium dry and sweeter style wines. Most of the late harvest and
dessertwines come from this vineyard.
An intriguing mix of pineapple, guava, vanilla and grapefruit mark this lush
white. Mineral undertow and bright structure that keeps it defined and lively.
Nice length. Drink now through 2025. 450 cases made.

2006 Riesling Auslese - 90 points
Generous, yet balanced, offering peach, vanilla, orange Creamsicle, and
