Location / Soil
Goldberg at “Altes Weingebirge“. South-western slope
with deep loamy soil and a high proportion of lime. An old
location with a prominent name. Goldberg was already
mentioned in documents in the 13th century as the best
location of Deutschkreutz. The vines were planted in 1947 by
Silvia‘s grandparents. Vines over 70 years old, deep clay soils,
strict selection of the (few) grapes. In the oldest vineyard of
Deutschkreutz, we raise a real treasure year after year.
Harvest / Fermentation
The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. Controlled mash
fermentation with natural spontaneous yeast. Pressing after
10 days of maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation.
Natural clarification by changing the wine several times.
