Characteristics

Grosses Gewächs (Great Growth) is a unique, top-quality wine produced in a limited number of bottles, which expresses its origins and terroir in a unique way.

As the origin and home of the Hex vom Dasenstein (Hex of Dasenstein), this distinctive vineyard site is home to a rock formation visible from afar: the Dasenstein. What appears on the surface as an impressive rock is also present beneath the earth. Weathered primary rock soil par excellence, which imparts incredible minerality and tension to our Riesling.

Wine Description

In the glass, it presents a light yellow color with brilliant reflections; on the nose, there are pronounced yellow fruit aromas of vineyard peach and apricot; on the palate, it is powerful, with beautiful fruit accompanied by plenty of power and punch from the mineral acidity; very expressive, all seamlessly and harmoniously, a great and elegant wine.

Vinegar Process

Consciously gentle and considered vinification, partly through spontaneous fermentation, allows the microflora of the small plot to work in the wine. The vinification of our Grand Crus is individually adapted each year to the terroir and the vintage.

Grape Variety

The Riesling grape variety is known for expressing regional character and terroir particularly clearly in its wines. In the Ortenau region, the southernmost Riesling region in Germany, it is the number one white wine grape variety. The local granite soils, in a mild yet rainy climate, produce very fruity Rieslings with a comparatively ripe, balanced acidity.
