| Riesling, Chardonnay and Burgundy Varities |
Traditionally, our Riesling grows well on poor rocky soils,
particularly in the Steinmassel and Heiligenstein vineyards. We aspire
towards crystal-clear, dry wines with a nose and body that continuously
remind the drinker of their origin, of the vineyards, their unique
soil, of the warm summer days and the cool nights, drenched in the
perfume of the acacia blossoms and the peach trees surrounding the
vineyards. The delicatelyproportioned Heiligenstein Rieslings develop
magnificently over the years and can achieve a well-nigh biblical age.
The Chardonnay is aged in 300-litre barrels of domestic oak. Grapes
from high-lying wine slopes impart fragrance and finesse, while
terraces near the valley give strength and warmth.
The climatic conditions in the Kamp Valley are also eminently suitable
for Burgundy varieties (Pinot Gris, Blanc and Noir, Chardonnay). The
dry, healthy air prevents rotting of the grapes in a natural manner,
permitting their full expressiveness as a result of a later harvesting
date. Every year, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris grapes are used to produce
the Langenloiser Spiegel cru, an ideal food accompaniment which has
been a permanent fixture on numerous wine lists for many years. |
