Kollwentz - Römerhof Wine Estate

All grapes from our own vineyards are picked by hand. This implies rigorous selection directly on the vine - only fully ripe, unscathed fruit ends up in the cellar. By the way: we have no irrigation systems in our vineyards. It is true that in extremely dry years it may happen that we forgo one or another harvest from young vineyards. On the other hand, the vines will root substantially more deeply, thus releasing extra aromas and flavors as well as power into the grapes.

Bottling the white wines.

The first 2014 whites are now being bottled after six months maturing on the
lees – Sauvignon Blanc Steinmühle and Chardonnay Leithakalk.

The top Chardonnays from 2013 – Tatschler, Gloria and Neusatz – will be
bottled as well, after spending eighteen months on the lees.

All of the whites are spicy and succulent, with a finely luxuriant texture
in the finish.

They'll be released in May.
