In the bright red soils of the Roter Hang, Riesling grapes grow in steep vineyards that capture the sun's rays virtually all day long.

Gentle pruning, natural fertilization, yield reduction through grape splitting and thinning, selective, manual harvesting in several passes are obligatory here.

The Riesling grapes for this origin wine come from one of the coolest and rockiest sites in Rheinhessen, from young vines grown on the western side of the Heerkretz site, characterized by volcanic porphyry. Christian Steitz passionately practices regenerative agriculture for a natural balance of the soils, which includes: diverse cover cropping and rolling, application of compost teas, gentle pruning, manual defoliation, hand harvesting. After several hours of maceration, it is gently pressed. The winemaking process: uncontrolled spontaneous fermentation with complete lees, reduced intervention, aging on full lees in Hösch barrels until May, bottled in September 2024 without additives or fining – all aligned for maximum expression of the soil and the site.

They start early by sowing buckwheat, clover, and radish, which prevents soil erosion, attracts beneficial insects, and retains moisture in the soil, which is revitalized with the application of horse manure as a natural fertilizer. Canopy management is also important for the quality of the wine: double shoots are removed manually, and depending on the weather conditions, the grapes are defoliated and thinned out to aerate them. The Muskateller grapes from Freinsheim vineyards are hand-picked at the optimal harvest time, selected, and gently pressed.

The result is cooler daytime temperatures and extremely short drying periods after rainfall. The vines of Mölsheim Riesling root in bare limestone, which here is only covered by a thin layer of gravel. Vineyard work is arduous, and every year we have to remove vast quantities of limestone that literally grow out of the vineyard. This stoniness and barrenness are perfectly expressed in the minerality of the Riesling: restrained fruit, few primary aromas, but extremely delicate notes of flint and northern herbs.

The vineyards are cultivated biodynamically, which means not only refraining from chemical-synthetic agents, but above all activating soil life and mindfulness in the daily walk through the rows of vines. \"Every contact is a dialogue,\" Philipp Wittmann sums it up. This means intensive vineyard care throughout the year, low yields, and consistent hand selection of the grapes form the basis for the high wine quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and the must is transferred to the cellar without pumping, solely by gravity. There, it has time to ferment spontaneously in traditional wooden barrels and remains on the fine lees for a long time, which gives the wine structure. In the end, much is tasted and blended, because each wooden barrel contains only the must from a few rows of vines, until the perfect balance is found.
