Wine, Wine, Wine
We present wines from our region. These are currently served (come by and see for yourself), drunk up because the guests liked it so much and the wine of the corresponding vintage (this is in the nature of things) could no longer be reordered. Some wines are not served anymore because they were put back, saved, just before they were drunk. And finally, you can read some interesting facts about the wine, the cellar and the pressing process.

2025 Blanc de Blanc winery Wein- und Sektmanufaktur
Following the 2024 vintage, we are pleased to also offer the 25 Blanc de Blancs from Großjenaer Blütengrund.
2024 Helios sweet Winery Wartenberg
This wine comes from the fourth vintage of the fungus-resistant Helios grape variety, newly planted at Wartenberg. This is the second time it has featured on our wine list, following the 2022 vintage.
2025 Kerner Auslese sweet winery Wein- und Sektmanufaktur
Slightly less residual sugar – 78.4 g/l instead of just under 90 – than its 2022 predecessor, yet still a fine choice for the wine connoisseur who dares to venture far beyond the ‘sweet’ category in their taste preferences. Grown on the renowned Weischützer Nüssenberg vineyard.
2023 Chardonnay Spätlese Winery Wartenberg
Following the 2022 Chardonnay Spätlese, we are delighted to be able to offer our guests the next vintage (2023). A wine from the steep slopes of the Naumburger Steinmeister with a remarkable alcohol content (14 per cent). It was awarded 89 Falstaff points in 2025.
2025 Silvaner Alte Reben Muschelkalk Winery Johannes Beyer
The grapes were harvested by hand and the vines were not given any additional watering. We find it just as well-made as its 2024 predecessor, which we also had on our menu. The new vintage has significantly less residual sugar – only half as much.
2025 Riesling feinherb Winery Wein- und Sektmanufaktur
A classic, fresh and invigorating Riesling with aromas of green apple, lemon and peach.
2025 Grüner Silvaner Winery Pawis
Like its immediate predecessors from 2023 and 2024, which we also served, the 2025 Grüner Silvaner is a real treat to drink. It captivates with its subtle notes of yellow apple and pear.
2024 Riesling & Traminer Hey
With a generous third more residual sugar than the 2023 vintage, the Riesling & Traminer from the Hey Winery in Roßbach is back on our wine list.
2025 Weiß vom Kalk Winery Hey
Following the 2024 vintage, this cuvée – a blend of Chardonnay and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) – is now available from us with the latest vintage, the 2025.
2024 Weißburgunder Winery Hey
We are happy to quote the winemaker on what he has to say about this Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder): “A Weißburgunder that combines clarity and tranquillity. On the nose, it reveals delicate aromas of ripe apple, pear and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is balanced and precise, underpinned by a juicy freshness and a pleasantly creamy texture.”
2025 Grauburgunder Winery Hey
We are delighted to have a Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) from Matthias Hey on offer again. Most recently, we had the 2024 ‘Naumburg Grauburgunder’, and before that – unrivalled and long since finished – the 2022 Grauburgunder Großes Gewächs from Steinmeister.
2022 Dornfelder Winery Grober Feetz
Unfortunately, the 2021 Dornfelder from the Freyburger Edelacker, produced by Grober Feetz, has now been drunk up. This Dornfelder from the 2022 vintage has therefore been added to our wine list. Its predecessor had set the bar very high.
What actually is must weight?
Anyone interested in wine will, sooner or later, come across the term ‘must weight’. But what does it actually mean? In short, for winemakers, the must weight is a sort of preview of the finished wine.
2021 Cabernet Cortis Barrique Winery Prof. Wartenberg
This modern PIWI variety (fungus-resistant grape variety, in German Pilzwiderständige Rebsorte) produces red wines full of character. We still have a few bottles on tap, but we’re also putting some aside. As you savour it, you get a sense of the potential PIWI wines can reach and the sort of red wine that can be produced along the Saale and Unstrut rivers. Among our reds, it’s already one of our favourites.
2025 Klingers Muse medium dry Grober Feetz
The third vintage of the popular ‘Klingers Muse’, following those of 2023 and 2024, has arrived and is now being served.
2025 Cuvée Rosé Böhme & Töchter
Following the 2023 vintage, which was quickly drunk, and its 2024 'spiritual companion', the 2025 vintage has arrived as a true Gleinaer. Like its predecessors, it has been vinified to be off-dry.
2025 Grauburgunder Muschelkalk Grober Feetz
This Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder) has featured on our wine list every year since the 2022 vintage, so this is now its fourth vintage. This year it is not an ‘Auslese’, but for lovers of a fine Grauburgunder it is a delight, just as it is every year – one might almost say.
2024 Riesling Ortswein Winery Böhme & Töchter VDP
The dry Riesling Orstwein from Freyburg, vintage 2024, is the second Riesling we are serving from the Böhme und Töchter winery in Gleina, following the 2023 vintage. It has slightly less acidity and residual sugar, but is certainly comparable to the 2023 vintage.
