Sylvaner accounts for roughly 60% of the estate's plantings, with standout bottlings from the VDP.ERSTE LAGE Küchenmeister vineyard on the Schwanberg, where gypsum keuper soils yield savoury, mineral-driven wines of remarkable aging potential. Near-natural, low-intervention farming and meticulous handwork in the vineyard underpin every bottle.
