The higher-altitude plots offer cooling in one of Germany's most renowned wine-growing areas.
-
Location / origin: The grapes come from the area around Monzernheim and Westhofen, in the south of Rheinhessen. Monzernheim is situated above the famous vineyard slopes of Westhofen, which creates clear differences in aspect and ripening within a small area.
-
Soil: Calcareous soils characterize the vineyards around Westhofen. Selecting from various plots gives the wine a broader base of origin than a single vineyard would provide.
-
Altitude & climate: Around Monzernheim, the vineyards reach up to 280m above sea level. The open location and constant wind ensure relatively cool conditions, in which the grapes ripen gradually and retain their natural acidity.
-
2025 Vintage: The growing season was relatively cool, with plenty of rainfall and significant temperature fluctuations. Careful vineyard work and attention to healthy grapes were therefore especially important.
Every vineyard parcel receives individual treatment before the final wine is composed.
-
Harvest & selection: The picking time is determined per vineyard based on grape ripeness. This allows fresh aromas and sufficient flavor development to be precisely matched.
-
Vinification: Grapes from the various plots are processed and vinified separately, ensuring their individual characteristics remain available for the final selection.
-
Maturation / aging: The batches develop partly in oak barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks. This combination allows for both texture and clear fruit expression. The components are only blended shortly before bottling; up to 26 individual parcels can contribute to this cuvée.
The characteristic aromatic intensity is combined with a pronounced dry, refined structure.
-
Sauvignon Blanc – Rheinhessen: Sauvignon Blanc provides lively acidity and an expressive interplay of fresh fruit aromas and floral nuances. At Weedenborn, the focus is primarily on the balance between fragrance, juiciness, and a precise taste.
