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.

Souvignier Gris
The Souvignier gris grape variety (pronunciation: Suvinje grie) was bred in 1983 by Norbert Becker (1937 - 2012) at the State Viticultural Institute in Freiburg i. Br. Please do not confuse it with Sauvignon, even if an English tongue can get confused when pronouncing it.
Grauburgunder
The names for Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) can vary. In the past, this white wine was often referred to as Ruländer and even today there are wine regions with this synonym for Grauburgunder. In French it is called Pinot Gris and the Italians say Pinot Grigio. Or its name is Szürkebarát.

Gewürztraminer
Gewürztraminer is the best-known variant of the Traminer grape variety. The name Gewürztraminer is derived from the word "spiced" (in German Language "gewürzt"). This refers to the flavour of the wines. On the other hand, it is derived from the place name Tramin in South Tyrol. Although Gewürztraminer enjoys great popularity there, it has since been disproved that it originated there. The exact origin is still uncertain. However, the winegrowers in and around Tramin see it quite differently. Who can blame them?

You are so sweet
Residual sugar refers to the sugars left unfermented in a finished wine. It is measured by grams of sugar per litre (g/l). But how sugar morphs from grapes in the vineyard to the delicious glass of wine in your hand?
A tip from the winemaker
Basically, we serve all our wines open; the one or other bottle then stands around for a while with the cork pushed back in or screwed shut again. There's fresh air in the bottle. That's not good.
