Our idea – pure Pinots with a soul

To achieve this goal, we spend an immense amount of time caring for our vines. This means, without exception, manual work. Only in close contact with nature can we understand the plant and its soil and follow Mother Earth‘s natural course.

Our terroir – a barren seabed

This soil naturally yields only small quantities and endows our Pinots with a lively mineral character and delicate elegance. On top of the vineyard Asselheimer Berg you can see the remains of a rocky reef which conjures up a picture of the sea of the Tertiary sweeping over us and leaving rocky limestone sediments behind.

Our vines – breezy habitat on limestone soils

They grow at altitudes of 180 to 300 metres and thrive on our limestone-based soils. Winds from the valley to the west continuously ventilate our vines, thus provide for a cooler microclimate and the slow ripening of the grapes.

Our Pinot range – handpicked and unmistakable

We vinify our Pinots in a completely traditional way – first in open vessels, later in barrique barrels from Burgundy with a fine, porous micro-structure. Then we give the wines the time they need: Patience truly is a virtue. The soils, the site’s micro-climate and our manual work define the quality of the grapes and give our different Pinots their soul and character.

Our world – synergy of tradition and boundless open-mindedness

We make a living on and live with nature. That makes us down-to-earth and strengthens the bond with our homeland. We work with precision and thoroughness and allow ourselves to be inspired by our curiosity and spontaneity.
