We both initially completed training as vintners, then went on to study for a degree in wine cultivation in Geisenheim before gradually taking over the operation of the wine estate. Now our father gives us an entirely free rein – but is always there with advice and assistance when we need him. The generational handover could not have gone more smoothly.In our own way, we are now proceeding with precisely that which always was – and is – so important to our father: making the magnificent terroir of our steep slopes by the Ahr tangible in our mineral-laden and fruity wines. This requires a great deal of care in the vineyard as well as reduced yields, which are harvested by hand and carefully selected. This is only possible with the help of a truly committed team. The work in the cellar then focuses exclusively on preserving this high level of quality through a gentle working method.
