Gesine Roll applies the same hand-picked attention and careful cellar work to her estate wines as well, allowing a beautiful structure to emerge alongside the expressive fruit. The appeal lies in that combination: wonderfully juicy and refreshing, with a fine grip and a softly spicy finish.

During her winemaking studies at Bassermann-Jordan in the Pfalz, she learned from cellar master Uli Mell how important accuracy in the cellar is. A work period at Vergelegen in South Africa deepened her interest in French-inspired wine styles. Back at the family estate in Monzernheim, she built upon the initiatives of her father, Udo Mattern, and developed her own course with a focus on refinement and structure. Her Sauvignon Blancs brought the house great recognition, but Riesling also has a permanent place in the assortment.
