Special characteristic
  • Contains sulphites

Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Gentle pressing followed by wild-yeast fermentation. Long maturation on the fine lees to maximise texture and complexity.

Deep, complex aromas of ripe white fruit, forest fruit, and herbs on the nose. Very focused and precise on the palate, with wonderful texture and fruit expression. Dark minerality on the finish.

'Himmelreich' is German for kingdom of heaven – and this vineyard's sunny aspect is distinctly divine. Soils with high clay content lend the wines a strikingly assertive character. Thanks to the prevailing topography, the vines are sheltered from wind and frost. This quick-warming terroir helps the grapes to ripen evenly and fully. Numerous veins of underground moisture provide the vines with an ideal source of water.
