Christmann Aus Den Lagen Riesling

These wines are from our best sites, handpicked, spontaneously fermented and carefully composed. They stand exemplary for our wine making style, our aspirations and our heritage.

The line “Aus den Lagen” stems from wines of all the estate’s classified vineyards with their soils and microclimates, located on an almost five kilometers long stretch along the Haardt mountain range. The “Aus den Lagen” line, produced solely from classified VDP.ERSTE and VDP.GROSSE LAGEN, is equivalent to the classic “second vin” in an international comparison. This new line allows us to focus on wines from clearly defined individual locations with even more rigour – true to our motto “Terroir down to the cellar”. Since the wines are from our sites, i.e. the guaranteed best vineyards in our region, the name “Aus den Lagen” was a natural choice.

Harvested from the Gimmeldinger (Kapellenberg and Meerspinne), Ruppertsberger (Linsenbusch and Reiterpfad), Neustadter (Vogelsang) and Königsbacher (Idig and Ölberg) sites, concentrated Mittelhaardt terroir comes into the bottle. Spontaneously fermented 2/3 in large wooden barrels, the Riesling is bottled in mid-April. – Steffen & Sophie Christmann
