Grape Varieties
Silvaner is still the traditional grape variety for
Franconia, followed by Müller-Thurgau and Riesling which is "king
of white wines" not only in Germany but all over the world. Additionally
we offer Weißer-Burgunder (Pinot Blanc), Kerner, Rieslaner and other
whites. As for red wines we have Spätburgunder(Pinot Noir), Domina
and Portugieser. We are still restructuring vineyards in order to
stock up the amount of reds, which develop superbly in the Franconian
region.
The grapes for our wines are all selectively hand-picked.
All our wines are bottled with one grape variety and completely
dry. For cultivating the wines we use oak casks, barrique casks(small
wooden casks 220 liter) comes from France, as well as stainless
steel tanks, so the wine can develop until it has found its own
ideal and complete state of harmonic delight. It is also is a prerequisite
for an adequate ripening and aging in the bottle.
