The vines of single vineyard Hochkittenberg are dominated by slate and schist soil. The cool terroir characteristics are reflected on the palate. After natural fermentation it was matured 20 months “sur lie” in stainless steel tanks.

This aromatic wine makes a nice apero but goes also very well with Asian cuisine and light summer dishes.

It evolves, matures and changes over time.

Our Standards

More than 15 years ago we started taking the first steps towards organic farming. We are now in the phase to convert to biodynamics. A logical step for us and a beginning without end. Every year we learn something new, observe nature and get closer to it bit by bit. We see our business as a form of modern circular economy in which wine is part of an overall concept. Partnerships with horse and cattle farmers have just as much space here as the use of the company’s own forest for energy production. Wine as a way of life.
