Glimmer 2016
Our white wine GLIMMER is our stimulatingly fresh and fruity, decidedly mineral cuvée of Müller Thurgau and Johanniter. Our GLIMMER combines the fungus-resistant Johanniter variety (50 %) with the Müller Thurgau variety (50 %), which gives it that special something.
The name of the wine is a reference to the primary rock types that we find in our vineyards. They also contain the beautiful mineral mica.

The grapes
grow in the higher vineyards of our winery between 760 and 860 m o.l.s..
In the cellar
before the pressing we allow the grape mash to sit for an amount of time depending on the vintage, in order to obtain mineral substances, natural aromas and tannins.
After the pressing, we allow the grape mash to ferment slowly in stainless steel barrels in which the wine sits on its natural yeasts.
The wine
has fresh notes of apple, pineapple, nuances of citrus and rhubarb. On the palate has mineral elegant and stimulating notes.
