Origin

Grapes from Grossriedenthal loess sites, Goldberg, Eisenhut and Diebsnest are hand-picked and fermented on the skins in stainless steel tanks. The Saignée component is then used for the Rosé (some of the juice from the red wine maceration is removed). The wine is matured in acacia barrels.

Character

The Zweigelt from loess soils is also supposed to be a fruity, light-bodied red wine, but is meant to offer more body and depth than the Selektion. We practise cluster thinning in the loess-soil Zweigelt vineyards in order to reduce the yield dramatically and so considerably improve the grapes’ ripeness. The wine becomes more concentrated, but never too heavy.
