Very steep & a little crazy. Our decision to settle in the Terrassenmosel often causes astonishment. The answer might be that it is important to preserve the incredible beauty of this cultural landscape and that unique, mineral Rieslings grow here. However, the answer could also mean that we might be a little bit crazy… But in any case, it is the best decision we have ever made.
We enjoy the beauty. Every day. But it also demands a lot!
Every day, one must go up and down an almost endless number of stairs. All work must be done by hand. The abstention from herbicides requires further efforts. At 30° on a steep slope, when the slate soil heats up. When the sweat is pouring and the strength is fading. Those are the moments when you wish to be by the banks of the Moselle with a bottle of wine. But a moment is just a moment, and the good feeling of having given everything for your vines and the anticipation of a wine that thanks us, quickly makes all the toil forgettable, because we do it for our love, our Riesling.
