Graacher Himmelreich

The Graacher Himmelreich (Graacher heaven) can be found high up on the slope above Graach and is classified by the VDP as a Große Lage. In many areas not quite as steep as the Graacher Domprobst, the locations do not differ much. Because of the topography, the Himmelreich is microclimatically favored. The vineyards are very sheltered from wind and frost, with optimal exposure to the sun.

The ground is very deep and crossed by water veins. A high proportion of clay minerals paired with the profundity produces very strong and broad-shouldered wines, which also bring a high minerality with graceful elegance.

Since most of our vineyards are located in the Graacher sites, the spectrum of our wines ranges from racy dry to golden-yellow Trockenbeerenauslese. Convince yourself of the top class of the site.

Riesling

Riesling is the most important German grape variety and at the same time our hobbyhorse. Riesling reflects the terroir like no other wine - in all consistency, in all flavors. And this is exactly what makes the cultivation of Riesling as a grape variety and the production of Riesling wines so fascinating and exciting. The Riesling enables us to bring the character of a vineyard into the bottle with all its facets and this is exactly our passion.

The Riesling as a grape variety prefers climatically cooler wine-growing regions like the ones we have on the Mosel. Generally, the Riesling is a slowly ripening grape variety (in the 80s the Riesling is often not fully ripened). On the steep slopes of the Mosel you will find optimal conditions for achieving physiological ripeness, in which the intensive aroma formation takes place. The steep slopes have a very good orientation to the sun, which favors the ripening process in months of September and October. On the other hand, the slate stores the daytime heat very well and releases it back to the vines at night. The Mosel as some kind of heat store does the rest.

Our Mosel Rieslings convince with a fine citrus-fruit aroma and balanced sweet-acid play. The wines have received numerous awards and are of exceptional quality. Our spectrum of Riesling ranges from racy dry wines to the liquid gold from the steep slopes, the Trockenbeerenauslese.

Kabinett

The Kabinett wines are the entry into the Prädikatweine. Prädikatsweine generally may not be increased in alcohol content by adding sugar. The Kabinett wines are characterized by fine fruit and elegant, tangy acidity. They are comparatively filigree and are therefore excellently suited to lighter dishes such as chicken or fish. Experienced wine drinkers appreciate the filigree of the Kabinett wines. Despite the fineness, it does not lack the slate minerality typical of the Mosel.
