Good wood…

Christian likes to use slightly bigger oak barrels than usual. His goal is to put emphasis on the grape variety and the vineyard the wine originates from rather than masking the wine with dominant aromas of wood. Structure and complexity of the wine determine the maturation period in the casks. Lemberger, Pinot noirs and red cuvees with moderate use of wood barrels are his specialty. Dry Riesling and full-bodied, mineral Pinot blancs are his passion. The overall goal is to elaborate an elegant, complex wine with a great potential for ageing.
