Bingen Scharlachberg (Scarlet fever hill of Bingen)

Red pigments in the soil for top Rieslings

The people who gave the name to this single vineyard site chose something that takes some getting used to: in the case of the childhood disease scarlet fever, the tongue turns red. The single vineyard Scharlachberg consists of "Quarzit Rigosol", a strongly consolidated sandstone with a high iron oxide content. The iron discolours the soil orange-red or scarlet. The vineyard was first mentioned in a document in 1248 with the name "vocatur scarlachen". It extends above the Bingen district of Büdesheim. Rieslings with great ripening potential come from here.

"The basis of a wine is placed in the vineyard and so there is already decided on quality and character. That's why respect for nature and the vineyard ecosystem are very important to us. "


 


Our passion


We want to vinify wines that are vibrant and long lasting.
We want to know our vines, to know what is good for them. We want to keep our grapes in their hands before they turn into wine. And we want life in our vineyards to flourish: in the earth, in the air, between the vineyards and above all in the vines themselves. The higher the biodiversity, the better for soils and wines.


 


Natural quality


To clamp quality on top level, it needs "a good team":
excellent locations and floors, consistent care and attention throughout the year, absolute care in the vineyard as well as in the cellar and, of course, a lot of knowledge and dedicated people! Only then can we bring the characteristics of our plants into the bottle as authentically as possible: balanced, terroir-specific and delicate.
