No. 26

Unsere Graacher Domprobst Auslese*** wird jedes Jahr auf der Versteigerung des Bernkastler-Rings versteigert. Bei der Riesling-Auktion wird der finale Verkaufspreis durch Gebote bestimmt. Daher können wir den Preis des Weines immer erst nach der Auktion bestimmen und somit auch erst dann in den Verkauf starten. Verglichen mit der Graacher Himmelreich Auslese*** setzt die Auslese aus dem Domprobst nochmal einen obendrauf. In die Nase strömt eine ungeahnte Aromenvielfalt von reifen, gelben Früchten über Honig bis hin zu Lavendel. Auf der Zunge der Geschmack von Beeren. Ein Wein zum liegen und reifen lassen.

Graacher Domprobst

The Graacher Domprobst is a “Große Lage”. Even before 1800 it was known that top wines can be produced from this site. The name Domprobst can be traced back to the fact that the interest income from the best vineyards was paid to the “Probst” of Trierer cathedral, who of course only choosed the best sites. The Graacher Domprobst has a slope of up to 70% with an optimal south-west orientation. The topography protects the vineyards from wind and frost and enables a very long ripening period.

The deep, slate soil dominated by clay minerals, together with the microclimatic conditions, enables the creation offinest fruit flavors and minerality. In combination with fine fruit acid, there is an incredible pleasure experience.

We use the grapes of the Domprobst to produce premium wines. In the dry wine sector, we recommend our Großes Gewächs, which must meet the strict criteria of the Bernkasteler Ring with regard to the quality of the grapes. In the noble sweet sector, the Auslese *** captivates with its distinctive fruit aroma and sweetness paired with fine acidity. The older vintages impress with their finesse and maturity, without showing any unpleasant aging marks.

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.

Auslese

At this stage we usually only produce our fruity and noble sweet wines. In special vintages there is also semidry Auslese. In addition, the Großes Gewächs corresponds to a selection in the dry area. The wines have an animating fruit-sweet-acid game and a distinctive fruit aroma. In the glass they usually present themselves in intense colours and have a long finish. The Prädikat Auslese is supplemented by up to three stars, which indicates the significantly higher quality compared to the minimum requirements of the wine law.
