Ried schon: the ultimate expression of their terroir. Cool, and smoky, powerful and mineral. Over the years more herbal notes appear. Structured, high acidity but always balanced. The potential is great: a first peak is reached - depending on the vintage - between the third and fifth year.

- Vinification
- Wine-making is a constant and continuous reaction to the requirements of the grapes. We cultivate our own ideas in this respect - a little skin contact, warm fermentation temperatures, yeast contact - follow each step meticulously, yet try to influence the development as little as possible or intervene unmotivated. Most of the spring games and emeralds are stored in stainless steel tanks to reproduce the finesse and filigree of the wines as precisely as possible. Although we have clear ideas about the style of our wines, we try to keep our eyes on the bigger picture, free from dogma. We taste, experiment and listen: Other winegrowers but also our customers - because this is the only way to develop.
