A fascinating structure emerges on the palate – at once both delicate and expressive, with that classic Ruwer note of exquisite minerality lending the wine a long finish.

    The 2016 vintage taxed many wine maker’s and their machine’s patience. Although the begin-ning of the year was rugged, the results of it were extraordinary surprising.
    It started off with an atypical mild winter, with only few frosty days and nights. Spring started off to be very wet and in average cooler than the preceding year. Extensive rainfalls impeded not only the trafficability of the vineyards, but also influenced negatively the blooming habit of the vine.
    The tremendous amount of precipitation in Mai, June and July provided perfect conditions for downy mildew, which lead to a rapid dissemination.
    The long blooming period, the hailstorm as well as the downy mildew lead in part to tremen-dous losses of crop. Thus, quantitatively speaking, this vintage is the third smallest within the last 30 years. However, within the last-minute the old winemaker slogan: “The wine is not yet in the cellar” got a new meaning: A dry August was followed by a glorious sunny and very warm September, which lead to the growing of golden yellow grapes The cool and dry October ena-bled a relatively late and long harvest that entailed physiological ripe and above all healthy vin-tage.
    Summing up one can say, that the small yield positively manifested itself in an excellent grape quality. The technical modernization of our wine press, with its focus on pure quality through gentle manufacturing, brought us must that inspires through its multifarious fruit aroma, ripe acidity and expressive minerality.
