…in Wiesbaden-Frauenstein

there is the vineyard with the area identification number 27.380/381, the youngest in the weinserien. portfolio and yet the oldest small batch series. Planted in 1958, this slow growing Riesling clone is located in a steep slope that misses its equal in the Rheingau area. Riesling grapes get downright baked on the weathered slate of the Taunus.

With a slope of 25° (45%) of this Grand Cru terroir is awarded with one of the best microclimates of the Rheingau. Located directly on the city of Wiesbaden, this small idyll can only be tillaged via wire hoists. This requires serious craftsmanship at the highest level, which means: one hand for oneself and one hand for the care. It is an annual challenge that justifies any effort.

The rare Aesculapian rat snake resides again at the foot of the old Mühlberg. She is an indicator and proof of a healthy ecosystem and on an outstanding inclination of the sun. The considered to be almost extinct Weinbergsblutzikade (Cercopis vulnerata) feels at home again there after two years of transitioning to sustainable standards. By eliminating alternating herbicide procedures, the essentially important mycorrhizae stabilized again as well. A mystic place.

With this Riesling, which is limited to 600 bottles, local terroir manifests itself in a special intensity.
