Scheurebe is a crossing of Riesling and the "Bukett grape". It was bred in Rheinhessen and named after its breeder, Georg Scheu, who found this new variety in 1916. The wines made from Scheurebe are full-bodied, have pronounced acidity and a bouquet and taste reminiscent of black currants. Weingut Höfling is a family-owned winery in Eußenheim situated to the Northwest of Würzburg. Almost all of their vineyards are present on slopes and hilly terrain, and most of all of the work in the vineyards is by hands.  The people in the winery work very hard and with a commitment to produce unique Franconian wines that show the qualities of the region. So they uses domestic wood and hometown barrels and like the most prized Franken wines were traditionally bottled in a Bocksbeutel, a squat green or brown flagon with a round body, is by Höfling too.

The castle ruins of Gössenheim stand on a large mountain made of wave limestone from the lower Muschelkalk. This characterizes the wines of the location. The soils are interspersed with small splinters of wave limestone and mixed with loess clay. The main location is below the castle ruins, the second, the Arnberg, is a hilltop to the south. The vineyard slopes slope to the south and have a slope of between 25 and almost 50%.

Weinviertel is Austria's most important wine region in terms of both its area under vine and the quantity of wine it produces. Grüner Veltliner accounts for more than one half of this area, making Weinviertel home to more than half of all Austrian Grüner Veltliner vines. The Weinviertel type of Grüner Veltliner is recognizable from its spicy "peppery" flavor. The association with green, white and, due to higher ripeness also black pepper is complimented by a fruit-driven bouquet and crisp acidity.  From the vintage 2009 on, the powerful Weinviertel DAC Reserve exists beside this classic-dry, fresh type. 

The entry-level Grüner Veltliner from Pollerhof. - Loess soil, steel tank. Aromatic, authentic Lössveltliner, apple, on the palate, fruit presence, juicy, fresh, pleasant acidity - says Erwin Poller. Exactly!

y tu de quien eres ? - and who are you ? The question about the Spanish red wine project is justified because the wine comes from a so-called mixed batch. This is how wine was produced almost everywhere: in the vineyard the most diverse grape varieties were mixed next to each other - sometimes unrecognized. The different ripening behavior of the grape varieties helped to compensate for the different weather conditions from year to year. Nowadays, winemakers are experimenting with the mixed batch again and are making lively, fascinating wines.

By the way, here are the red grape varieties: Bobal, Marisancho, Teta de Vaca, Pedro Juan, Moravia Agria, Moravia Dulce, Cegivera, Rojal, Valencín, Albillo

Bodegas Gratias is a unique, fascinating wine project - from the relatively unknown wine region of La Manchuela in the hinterland of Valencia towards La Mancha. What is special about this small region are the rare autochthonous grape varieties such as Bobal (which also forms the backbone of the y tu de quien eres ?) and Tardana. The young families and summer lovers of the Bodegas Gratias have dedicated themselves entirely to the unique wines from these grape varieties - working ambitiously organically and with an excellent feel for aromatic subtleties and precision.

German most famous and oldest viticulture is the „Steilhange“, steep slopes along the Mosella river. No wonder that Weingut Milz can praise such a long winemaking tradition and history. Since 1520, the Milz family has been known as great winemakers in Trittenheim, a wine village in the well-known Moselschleife. Parts of the original 1680 wine cellar are today still visible. Milz’s wines are quite classic Riesling from the Mosel, since they present the ideal alcohol level, delicatesugar residue and an extremely long finish. In 1900, these wines used to be the most expensive in any European restaurant’s menu, even more high-priced than the best Burgundies and Bordeaux wines.

Riesling is one of the noble grape varieties and is capable of producing a variety of extraordinary white wine styles, and is most known for the sweeter-style German wine it produces.  Although sweet wines dominate this category, there are some amazingly dry and complex wine is produced in Alsace, Germany and the United States. This grape variety dominates in Germany and the majority of the white wines produced there are made in the sweeter style. There is a classification system in place, which categorizes wines by their sweetness. From driest to sweetest, they are Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese,  Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese. These whites range from the semisweet, lighter style to the extremely sweet, lush and dessert wine style. Veit is one of Piesport’s oldest winegrowing families. The vineyard has 7 hectares in and around the famous village of Piesport in the Mosel. 

The light-footed, elegant, bitter-sweet Riesling from the Nik Weis winery comes from the slate vineyards on the Saar. The St.Urbans-Hof today covers 40 hectares and looks back on several centuries of wine-growing history. Fine, spicy aromas of elderberry, lilac and chamomile make the wine stand out from comparable Rieslings (by the way, Robert Parker also thinks so).

Bracchetto from the Vigna Regali vineyard is a typical Piedmontese sparkling wine - fresh scent of roses and raspberry, light and sweet. The Castello di Banfi winery was founded by two Italian-Americans from New York, Harry and John Mariani, who had become very wealthy by importing Lambrusco. In the mid-1970s, they created a very ambitious wine project based on the highest quality, which quickly gained great recognition.

The Valenti winery is relatively young. It was only founded in 2004 and newly planted on almost 30 hectares. The soils are among the best on Mount Etna and in Sicily in general - Passopisciaro in the municipality of Castiglione di Sizilia. The elegant Rosato has its basis in the red wine grape variety of Etna Nerello Mascalese. The Etna wines are reminiscent of Pinot Noir or even more of German Pinot Noir - mineral, with fresh cherry fruit and careful aging in wood.
In the "Storia die Vini d'Italia" (History of the Wines of Italy), published in 1596, wines from here are mentioned and their exceptional quality attributed to the fly ash blown in from Mount Etna.
The grape varieties used are 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio.

Individuality is our favorite quality in wine: each year, the same grapes can give very different wines according to the climate, and then the winemaker will also slightly alter the taste of that specific wine, choosing to let the bunch of grapes ripening in the sun one more day or choosing the fermentation technique he prefers, the oak barrel or the stainless steel barrel. Either way, passion is the essential ingredient to make a fine and original wine. That is exactly what Erwin Poller has got: passion and commitment to his authenitic project. He is a master at producing excellent wines and a mindful narrator of the stories behind each bottle of wine. The peculiar labels of his bottles cleverly serve this purpose: telling a unique story of enthusiasm and originality.

A feather! Dozens of chickens scratch and peck among the Valtellina vineyards. They freeliy come from the nearby henhouse and Erwin Poller figured out that they can represent a blessing for the calcareous soil: when the chickens stroll through the vineyard they loosen and turn the soil and help areate it. And since no thing should be wasted, Poller collects the chicken feathers off the ground and uses them to decorate his bottles. 

Fine wine, friendship, respect and individuality: these are the reasons that led us to choose Poller as the representative of Austrian wines in our shop.

Erwin Poller’s most precious land was owned by Frau Mayer. This passionate woman took care of it till she got very old. Such a great land and soil can only make a great wine: the green Valtellina in this bottle is perfect. To pay homage to Frau Mayer for her generosity and devotion, Poller designed the labels of this Valtillina inspired by the wallpaper decorating the old woman cottage.

Arneis is the typical white wine of Piedmont. The grape variety of the same name was already known in the 15th century. It is relatively low in acid and produces fragrant wines that can be drunk young and have fine fruit and a strong body at the same time. Because of its susceptibility to downy mildew, Arneis was almost extinct a few years ago. It has been experiencing a renaissance since the 90s. The DOCG Roero Arneis was finally created in 2005.

Named after the town of Mâcon on the Sâone River, the area with around 5,400 hectares of vineyards is part of the Burgundy region. The Roman poet Ausonius (310-395) already mentioned the wines from this area. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the Cistercians planted vines here on a large scale. The area became famous in 1660 when the winemaker Claude Brosse delivered wine to Versailles and was noticed by the French “Sun King” Louis XIV (1638-1715) at a trade fair there because of its size. The king spoke to him, tasted his wine after mass and was so enthusiastic that the royal court was regularly supplied with it. The area stretches along the Sâone in a 15 kilometer long strip. There is also a place called Chardonnay here, suggesting that the grape variety may have originated in this area.
