"The basis of a wine is placed in the vineyard and so there is already decided on quality and character. That's why respect for nature and the vineyard ecosystem is very important to us. "

Our passion
We want to vinify wines that are vibrant and long lasting.
We want to know our vines, to know what is good for them. We want to hold our grapes in our hands before turning them into wine. And we want life in our vineyards to flourish: in the earth, in the air, between the vineyards and above all in the vines themselves. The higher the biodiversity, the better for soils and wines.

Natural quality
To clamp quality on top level, it needs "a good team":
excellent locations and floors, consistent care and attention throughout the year, absolute care in the vineyard as well as in the cellar and, of course, a lot of knowledge and dedicated people! Only then can we bring the characteristics of our plants into the bottle as authentically as possible: balanced, terroir-specific and delicate.

“The foundation of a wine is laid in the vineyard, and it is there that quality and individuality are determined. That is why we hold respect for nature and the vineyard ecosystem particularly dear.”

 

Our passion

We want to vinify wines that vibrate and are long-lasting.
We want to know our vines to understand what benefits them. We want to hold our grapes in our hands before they become wine. And we want life to thrive in our vineyards: in the soil, in the air, between the vine rows, and most importantly, in the vines themselves. The higher the biodiversity, the better it is for the soils and wines.

 

Natural quality

To produce quality at the highest level, it takes "a good team":
excellent sites and soils, consistent care and attention throughout the year, absolute diligence in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, and of course, a lot of knowledge and dedicated people! Only in this way can we bring the characteristics of our creations as authentically as possible into the bottle: balanced, terroir-specific, and finely structured.

Binger Scharlachberg

Bingen Scharlachberg (Scarlet fever hill of Bingen)

Red pigments in the soil for top Rieslings

The people who gave the name to this single vineyard site chose something that takes some getting used to: in the case of the childhood disease scarlet fever, the tongue turns red. The single vineyard Scharlachberg consists of "Quarzit Rigosol", a strongly consolidated sandstone with a high iron oxide content. The iron discolours the soil orange-red or scarlet. The vineyard was first mentioned in a document in 1248 with the name "vocatur scarlachen". It extends above the Bingen district of Büdesheim. Rieslings with great ripening potential come from here.

Bingen Kirchberg (Church hill of Bingen)

Quartzite lies between chapel and church

The Rochuskapelle (Rochus Chapel) towers above, the Kempten district of Bingen on the banks of the Rhine below. In between the picturesque "Binger Kirchberg" vineyard, first mentioned in 1726. It probably got its name from the view of Kempten's Dreikönigskirche (holy trinity church). Mainly Riesling grows here, but there is also some Pinot Noir found. The loam-loess soil has a high stone content and is very rich in lime and quartzite. The quartzite contains iron oxide, colouring parts of the soil red. The wines show a distinctive flinty minerality.
