2023 Weißer Burgunder Winery Pawis
This Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) bears witness to the terroir of the Saale and Unstrut rivers. It is soft, fruity and reminiscent of stone fruit. Subtle minerality.
Helios variety
Helios, the name of the sun god in ancient Greece. The grape variety that bears this divine name has nothing to do with Greece, nothing to do with gods apart from the name, at most something to do with the sun. It is a new development from Germany.

This wine comes from the second vintage of the newly planted fungus-resistant grape variety Helios at Wartenbergs.
2023 Scheurebe Muschelkalk Winery Frölich Hake
The 2022 vintage was drunk in no time at all, so we were all the more excited about the new 2023 vintage. We subjected it to an extensive tasting and can say: Very well done!
What is actually a Cuvée?
The term cuvée is used very differently internationally in different regions, which can lead to some confusion. The word cuvée is derived from the French cuve and means vat, fermenter or tank.

Souvignier Gris
The Souvignier gris grape variety (pronunciation: Suvinje grie) was bred in 1983 by Norbert Becker (1937 - 2012) at the State Viticultural Institute in Freiburg i. Br. Please do not confuse it with Sauvignon, even if an English tongue can get confused when pronouncing it.
Grauburgunder
The names for Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) can vary. In the past, this white wine was often referred to as Ruländer and even today there are wine regions with this synonym for Grauburgunder. In French it is called Pinot Gris and the Italians say Pinot Grigio. Or its name is Szürkebarát.
2022 Grauburgunder Spätlese Weimarer Poetenweg Winzervereinigung
Unmistakable Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) Spätlese with a fresh flavour of apples and pears, lively acidity and a long-lasting finish. Origin from the Weimar Poetenweg.
Gewürztraminer
Gewürztraminer is the best-known variant of the Traminer grape variety. The name Gewürztraminer is derived from the word "spiced" (in German Language "gewürzt"). This refers to the flavour of the wines. On the other hand, it is derived from the place name Tramin in South Tyrol. Although Gewürztraminer enjoys great popularity there, it has since been disproved that it originated there. The exact origin is still uncertain. However, the winegrowers in and around Tramin see it quite differently. Who can blame them?
