The HALENBERG site, which covers only 8.5 hectares, is planted exclusively with Riesling - two-thirds of the site is owned by us. The stony soil is characterized by blue slate and quartzite and yields small-berried, highly aromatic grapes.

The foot of the slope is best suited for the production of ice wine. There we were able to harvest very healthy grapes with a perfect acid structure in the early morning hours of December 21, 2004 at -10°C.

The first liters of pressing are usually the most concentrated and finest. In special years they are bottled separately as "gold capsules".

In 2006, the majority of this wine was auctioned. A small portion remained in the winery's treasury.

Almost twenty years later, this ice wine shows all its class. Enormously youthful, highly precise in its fruit expression and with the finest acidity it glides over the tongue.
