Grape production Already Goethe appreciated the Hasensprung from 1811 during his journey to the Rheingau in 1814. The south-eastern slope bears heavy loessic soil, mixed with superficial pebbles and compact loam soil. These conditions produce very rich wines with large volume, intense fruit, and harmonious acidity. Ranging from dry to sweet characters, this classic Riesling vineyard always has a great maturing potential. Wine production The wine harvest took place from October till November. In order to receive a fresh fruit of the wine an intensive negatively selection was needed. The grapes were then carefully pressed in the grape reception station of the estate. The fer-mentation in cooled high-grade steel tanks underlines again the freshness and the fruitiness of the wine. Clearly recognizable is that the wines mature on the lees. Thereby they intensify their aroma and create a well-balanced and very tender gustatory effect. The year 2008 After a mild winter the bud-burst started end of April. May was relating to heat and sunshine duration comparable to June, which of course was activating the progression of the vines. It was a very short margin between the proliferation and the flowering, so that the canopy management was very demanding. The welcome precipitations in June were followed by a lot of rainfall in July and August. A cool and cloudy September restrained the ripening process. The grape harvest began end of October with a steady change of rainy days and calm au-tumnal weather. In order to that we needed courage to await and let the vintage endure despite the unsettled weather conditions. But in the end we were re-warded with high-class wines, fine-linked, vivid with a fresh acidity, a pleasant fruitiness and characteristic flavours. The First Growth The First Growth is representing the premium segment our wine pyramid. Strict cultivation and producing criteria as well as a second sensory control are the pa-rameter for the born quality from the vineyards which is indispensable counting. Noticeable for the first growth is a substantial taste and the classical Rheingauer Schlegelbottle. Also the award on the label “Erstes Gewächs” with the three romanic double archs. | |
