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.

Pruning the Methusalemreben

For weeks now we have been busy with the pruning.

Here for decades, with the ancient Sauvignon Blanc 'Methusalem vines' in the
Ried Steinmühle, cane stubs have been trimmed onto a cordon.

The knotty and knobby vines thus formed yield a small harvest of the finest
wines..
