The Grape
Riesling is a white grape variety that originated in the Rhine region. Riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity. It is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet, and sparkling white wines. Riesling wines are usually varietally pure and are seldom oaked. As of 2004, Riesling was estimated to be the world's 20th most grown variety at 48,700 hectares, but in terms of importance for quality wines, it is usually included in the "top three" white wine varieties together with Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Riesling is a variety that is highly "terroir-expressive", meaning that the character of Riesling wines is greatly influenced by the wine's place of origin.
The Winery
In Siefersheim, wine is a cultural asset, a home, a tradition – for a long time, also for us – purely a family matter. But modern winegrowing at a high level requires expertise in many different areas, i.e. real teamwork. With clear ideas of quality and style, Anne Gebert therefore inspired like-minded people to lead the parental winery into the future together. Building on the knowledge of the experienced winemaker Hans-Joachim Gebert and almost 200 years of winemaking tradition, our dedicated young winemaker Paul Krahl now sets clear accents in the wine cellar, while Hans-Joachim and Alin take care of the vines with dedication. Organizational talent and wine consultant Jan ensures both the well-being of customers and the smooth running of operational processes. With a lot of hospitality and attention to detail, Lara and Hannah take care of the “wine garden” and create events where you can enjoy what we all worked for with dedication. And then, when the whole team comes together after a successful day, it is suddenly the same as it always was – very familiar.
