Vineyard Info
Our family has made wine for 400 years and our wine tradition dates back to the 17th century. Our steep slopes produce Riesling wines of top quality, grown in harmony with Nature, entailing lots of time-consuming manual labor, and it is these values we seek to preserve. Our wines are timeless, just like our vineyards. Our wines are made by individualists for individualists, produced by progressive traditionalists for people who are passionate about wine, and who understand and cherish the value of heritage.
Sonnenuhr (with an old sundial) is a southwest facing vineyard on a rocky slope. The steepest single vineyard in the village of Zeltingen with large outcroppings of rock chunks of blue Devonian slate, very shallow subsoil of decomposed slate on top of slate bedrock. The berries are harvested super ripe and partially shriveled. Only select years are chosen to make this special Riesling style.
