Taste

The grapes are grown on the steep slopes of the Main River Valley and the harvest is entirely by hand. This wine is extremely rare and only 1,000 bottles are produced each year.

This wine has a slightly greenish, transparent color, a refreshing aroma reminiscent of lemon and white flowers, and a sufficient minerality. The refreshing, but not too prominent acidity tightens the whole, resulting in a noble finish with a cool feeling.

German wines often have unusual vineyard names, but the name of this vineyard, Schlossberg, means "Castle Mountain".

Organic history: Since 1985 (certified in 1990)

The winery is located in Klingenberg, a village in the Franconia region of southern Germany, famous for the Romantic Road, about a two-hour drive from Frankfurt. The previous owner, Willi, started working at a winery in the village, and in 1972, he bought a small field and began making wine. Willi was a pioneer who also served as an advisor to Germany's oldest and largest organic producers' association, and was originally sensitive to environmental issues, so he converted in 1990. The fields are terraced on a steep slope overlooking the Main River. The fields are sunny and warm quickly in the spring, but it is hard work, climbing stairs for each plot and using only small tools. Some biodynamic elements are incorporated to produce high-quality grapes that are resistant to stress and disease. They make wine with care, such as not adding yeast and using barrels from Germany.
