Locations

The winery cultivates around 6.5 hectares of vineyards in the sometimes very steep vineyards on the Ahr (→ steep-slope viticulture ). These layers are characterized by the high proportion of slate in the floors and the slate walls. They offer the vines a preferred climate because they store the sun's heat during the day and release it back to the vines at night.

The vineyards stretch from Bad Neuenahr to Rech :

• Bad Neuenahrer Sonnenberg
• Ahrweiler Rosenthal
• Dernauer Burggarten
• Dernauer Hardtberg
• Recher flower
• Research Hardtberg
• Research Herrenberg

Grape varieties and wines

85% of the vineyards are planted with Pinot Noir. The rest is made up of the Riesling and Frühburgunder varieties as well as the new varieties Dornfelder and Dunkelfelder .

The red wines are aged in large wooden barrels for at least 16 months. Good qualities are also matured in the new barrique and undergo malolactic fermentation there . In addition to the classic red wines, sparkling wine is also made from the Pinot Noir or Riesling grape varieties .

history

The Stodden family has been growing grapes since 1578. It was not until 1900 that Alois Stodden began to grow Pinot Noir on his farm.
