historical development

The winery has been in the family since 1723. The Tesch winery was one of the largest agricultural properties on the Nahe until the 1970s. Hartmut Tesch then concentrated entirely on viticulture. His son Martin Tesch has been running the business since 1997.

Grape varieties and wines

90% Riesling wines are grown on around 21 hectares of vineyards . The wine range is supplemented by Burgundy varieties such as Pinot Blanc (5%) and Pinot Noir (5%).

Mainly dry single vineyard Rieslings and extremely dry Riesling concept wines are offered. The range is rounded off by white-pressed Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir Rosé and base wines from these grape varieties.

Locations and soils

All classified individual sites are planted exclusively with Riesling:

Laubenheim Karthauser

This location above the village of Laubenheim forms a basin that opens to the southwest. The location owes its name to its owners in the late Middle Ages, the Carthusian monastery in Mainz . The Riesling vines grow in the "Karthäuser" on Rotliegendem Boden.

Laubenheimer St. Remigiusberg

This is one of the smallest individual layers in the Nahe and it is located right next to the Karthauser. The vines grow in St. Remigiusberg. on weathered volcanic rock ; the soil is clay infused with iron ore .

Löhrer Berg

The Langenlonsheimer Löhrer Berg (derived from "empty mountain") is one of the oldest Riesling sites in the Nahe. The Palatinate Elector Philipp Wilhelm von der Pfalz made sure of this in 1688 when he ordered that this site should only be planted with Riesling. Numerous water sources supply the loamy soil of the Löhrer Berg, which is interspersed with river gravel, making it very fertile.

Royal shield

The Königsschild is located south of Löhrer Berg. The name is probably due to the affiliation to the Ingelheimer Kaiserpfalz , the winter residence of Charlemagne . The Königsschild is loosely loess loam interspersed with shell limestone .

Laubenheimer Krone

The Laubenheimer Krone is in the immediate vicinity of the Löhrer Berg. The name probably also refers to the spatial proximity to the medieval imperial palace in Ingelheim. The steep southeast slope of the Laubenheimer Krone is characterized by a variety of light and coarse soils made of loess loam and weathered sandstone .

Vinification

All wines are dry and have a fresh acidity with an alcohol content of 11.5% to 12.5%. The grapes are harvested by hand, some of which are destemmed and, after a few hours of maceration , gently pressed. After the must has settled, it is fermented at natural temperatures of 15–19 degrees Celsius. The wine is racked for the first time four to six weeks after fermentation . After a further 4–5 months on the fine yeast, it is tapped, clarified, filtered and bottled for the second time. Since the 2003 vintage, all wines have been provided with a special cap.
