This entire process of vinification and aging in stainless steel and barrique takes about 6 to 7 months and a minimum amount of sulfur is used, after which bottling takes place without fining in May.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer information: This estate is located in the historic center of Wiltingen, one of the most famous wine-growing communities on the Saar. As a former monastic winery of the Luxembourg Jesuits, it already had large vineyard plots in the best wine hills of Wiltingen at the beginning of the 18th century, such as Scharzhofberger, Kupp, Klosterberg, and Gottesfuss. In 2003, the Kanzemer Altenberg was added, which, like the other vineyards, was classified as Grand Cru in 1868. The average age of the vines is 40 years, with standouts such as the 120-year-old ungrafted vines in the Gottesfuss, one of the steepest and most renowned Saar plots. Ungrafted rootstocks are possible on slate because the grape phylloxera cannot take root here. Roman Niewodniczanski, who took over and completely restored the estate in 2000, is a descendant of the Bittburger dynasty. His drive for quality is unstoppable, and his aim is to optimally showcase the different top terroirs (steep, mineral-rich slate, sandstone, and rhyolite, especially in Ürzig). Large investments have been made in the vineyards for this, and the grapes are always harvested late and manually in several stages at the end of October\/November. In 2019, the new ultra-modern cellar was put into use, an architecturally striking building in the still classic Saar\/Mosel region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eArea information: The Mosel wine region, which also includes the tributaries the Saar and the Ruwer, is the oldest and one of the most beautiful wine regions (a total of nearly 8,800 ha) in Germany. Wonderful wines come from here, especially based on the renowned Riesling grape. The reason this grape does so well in this region between Koblenz and Trier is due to a combination of climate and soil. The cool, northern climate ensures that the grape must ripen for a long time and beautiful acids are preserved. The Saar Bereich is less sheltered from the cold wind and therefore these wines are often a bit more reserved in structure. This brings a higher acidity, which allows them to be stored longer. Due to the warming climate, the Saar increasingly has the advantage of being the coolest region in the Mosel area. The soil contributes favorably in two ways. Firstly, there is the location of the vineyards, on the steep slopes of the banks of the Mosel and its tributaries. The most beautiful slopes face west, receiving the most hours of sunshine. The variation in the quality of the vineyards is enormous. The Mosel is the German river with the most bends, which means the slopes face all directions. In addition, there is the subsoil itself. The best soil contains a lot of slate. This has the property of retaining the sun's heat from the day in the evening hours and thus warming the grapes a little extra. As a result, the ripening process proceeds gradually. On the flatter parts along the river, mainly müller-thurgau is grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing suggestions: With fish dishes, shellfish and crustaceans, light meat dishes and poultry, vegetable dishes, asparagus, pastas, cured hams and sausages, mild creamy cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing temperature: 8 to 10ºC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther information: Wine was already being made here in Roman times.
