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.

Steinzeiler 2018
The appropriate moment has arrived to make the assemblage of our Steinzeiler 2018. First we taste it, and then we get to work.
The individual casks are decanted together with a gentle pump, washed out and then refilled.
Sounds easy – and perhaps it is, too – but this requires a great deal of intuition and a lot of experience at tasting.
When all is said and done, the sum should taste better than the individual components.
Now the Steinzeiler still has about 24 months of additional maturation in the small oak casks.
