Geography - Soil

We come from Vendersheim. 50,000 years ago, the mighty river Rhine used to flow over our vineyards, but it then changed its course and has been flowing through Mainz ever since. The river has left its distinct mark, leaving behind one of the highest limestone-rich soils in Rheinhessen. Our obligation is to preserve and enhance this soil heritage and their biogenic diversity. These soils and our unique micro climates give our wines the distinct energy to speak for themselves.

Year

With the 2012 vintage we began transforming the idea of ​​Neverland into a reality. Since then, there have been some extreme and challenging vintages. The highlights include 2017, with its late frost, and the heat records of 2016 and 2018. Each year, we strive to give our vines the best chance to adapt to the weather conditions through minimalistic interventions. The result? Grapes that tell their own story of the respective vintage.

People

Wine would not come into being without man, yet how far man allows nature - and his own nature - to express itself depends greatly on the personality of all involved. We saw in the past what too much intervention into natural habitats caused and while our vineyards are certified organic, we also apply the principles of biodynamic viticulture in order to foster nature and natural stability on our land.

Our wines are selectively harvested by hand and are fermented spontaneously with their own yeasts. Before bottling, our young wines clarify naturally, over time. Ultimately, we want wines with a good drinking flow that carry their origin and the year they were harvested in within their energy, but that also reflect more than one dimension.
