Wines

The grapes come from the La Fabriseria vineyard in the Valpolicella Classica region and are left to ripen on the vine. The wine is aged exclusively in Slovenian oak barrels. Valpolicella La Fabriseria is today a great and important wine and represents another wine that the Tedeschi family trusts to tell the world the story of this wonderful region.

It has an intense ruby color and aromas reminiscent of black currant, sour cherry and plum. In the mouth it has a rich structure and balance. Its distinct tannins, lively acidity and alcohol content ensure good aging potential. Retrospective sniffing confirms the nose notes. Enjoy it with game, red meat and aged hard cheeses.

Thanks to the innovative study of soil and plant characteristics that we carried out in Maternigo and the Impervio vineyard, each individual vine is continuously monitored and fruit ripeness is checked on a daily basis.

This Valpolicella has a deep ruby color and its bouquet is intensely fruity. Notes of red currants, cherries and plums that give freshness to the wine and mingle with mineral, ethereal, spicy and vanilla notes. In the mouth it is rich, fresh and well balanced with significant tannic structure, very lively acidity and an alcohol level that ensures good aging potential. The aromas of the mouth follow those of the nose. Accompany red meats, game and mature cheeses.

Fragrant aromas of ripe apple, citrus blossom and roasted almonds combine with a generous lift of toasty oak and a hint of gun smoke. Charred stone fruit with a mealy and creamy richness derived from barrel fermentation provide the framework for this full-bodied wine, structurally tied together with a precise line of lush acidity leading into a long, lingering finish.

This deliciously complex wine will be a great partner to pan-roasted deep sea fish, finished with brown butter and sage, served with celeriac puree and a simple green salad.

An intensely complex and alluring nose displaying a myriad of aromas. Charred grapefruit and struck match dominate the initial impression of this wine and lead into a fragrant spectrum of toasted spice seeds and undertones of white peach. The palate displays contrasting characters of ripe citrus, gunflint and a warm perfume of spice derived from new oak.

Juicy acidity balances the richness from the barrel fermentation and lees aging, providing a satisfyingly dry and long finish. A perfect accompaniment with most seafood dishes, the 2016 Pride and Glory will marry beautifully with crayfish barbequed over coals, served on a charred fennel salad with a lemon infused olive oil dressing.

Winemaker Carl SchmittWagner decided to replant his best vineyard. He painstakingly selected only the best Rieslingvines for the focus of his renowned winery. In the year 1896 he planted Maximin Herrenberg with ungrafted Rieslingvines with 10,000 vines per hectare. A few years ago this very vineyard was ranked by the Prussian tax authority among the best sites along the Mosel. Today this vineyard still stands on its original site from 1896. This makes it probably the oldest vineyard in the world with ungrafted Rieslingvines of this size.

Maximin Herrenberg has a southern exposure of red slate. This very rare terroir gives the wines a unique structure. Coming straight from the Mosel River is the Maximin Herrenberg Riesling Alte Reben Trocken 1896. Clean, cool and spicy on the nose. Orange, kumquat and fennel stand out. In the mouth, it is rich, ripe, intense, excitingly clean, pure, salty, tasty and balanced. A Riesling with great elegance and finesse.
