- ICE WINE | Jung & Knobloch
Up ICE WINE Ice wine 2018 – harvested at total lunar eclipse on 21 January 2019 We have been waiting for this moment for 10 years. In autumn 2018 we took the risk and decided to leave 3 different grape varieties on the vine – without knowing what was going to happen.... Albig January 21, 2019. We spent a very restless night because we permanently had to keep an eye on our thermometer. At 4:00 Tobias Jung drove through the vineyards. Minus 12° Celsius! We had been waiting so long for this day! At 5:00 wakeup call for all of the children. At 6:00 meeting point for all volunteers in the courtyard. This interesting group moved together through the vineyards: kids, secretaries, cellar master and field workers. The harvest could start! Have you ever heard a nicer sound than frozen grapes falling into a bucket? It was extremely dark outside. Total lunar eclipse - a once-in-a-lifetime-event. All of our volunteers were fascinated by this unique spectacle of nature. Around 7:30 the moon left the shadow of the earth. Shortly afterwards the sun rose behind the vineyards. This extraordinary ice wine harvest will leave an unforgettable impression in our hearts and on our tongues! At 9:00 the naturally frozen grapes went to be pressed and stored in tanks. Cellar master Jan Blätz attended the ice wine harvest for the first time. For Tobias Jung it was already the 4th vintage and he benefitted from his extensive experience in ice winemaking, which has been passed down from generation to generation. On 13 May 2019 the ice wine was finally bottled. This special ice wine embodies a concentration of high risk, severe frost, intensive manual work, total lunar eclipse und masterful knowledge . A masterpiece of winemaking! 397 Huxelrebe Ice wine - Albiger Petersberg 398 Riesling Ice wine - Albiger Hundskopf 196 Cabernet Mitos Ice wine - Albiger Hundskopf >

- SUSTAINABILITY | Jung & Knobloch
SUSTAINABILITY There is truth in wine and truth is wherever glasses are clinked. FRIEDRICH HEGEL SUSTAINABILTY IS MORE THAN JUST A TRENDY TERM FOR US To shape the future and to assume responsibility – that is our mission as human beings, as entrepreneurs and as Christians. For these reasons we act in a sustainable manner by conviction and for the future of our children. Our commitment is manifest in the areas of ecology, economy and in the social sectors. Reason is the measure of all things determining our actions. Ecology and social commitment have to be viewed and planned with a long-term perspective; at the same time they have to be economically viable so as not to be achieved at the expense of our employees and their families. Sustainable action therefore means for us to always be looking for solutions that enable us to reconcile these aspects with each other. The lived respect for humans and nature is part of our DNA and has shaped our family for generations. For more than 200 years we have striven to protect nature, conserve resources, and promote fellow human beings, while consistently continuing to develop the quality and diversity of our wines. SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW WE IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABILITY DSC04671_Web Bienenhotel 600px DSC04671_Web 1/2 ECOLOGICAL We completely avoid the use of insecticides We use lightweight glass bottles (this saves energy during production and transport) We produce and consume green electricity We maintain fallow land with bee meadows We print on recycling paper SOCIAL We are an apprenticing and training company We like to share our experiences in presentations on generational transition, employee management, The Bible and Wine, as well as on a number of other topics We are also an employer for applicants without a completed education We are involved in local associations ECONOMIC We focus on resource conservation and energy efficiency (Lighthouse Company) We buy from regional retailers near us We invest in innovative, economical product developments We use a freefall installation for the gentle transport of harvested grapes to the grape press without pump application We use a state-of-the art must cooling device enabling a 70% saving over less advanced cooling machine SPECIAL AWARDS Viticulture Promotion Prize Alternation of Generations 2007 Training Company of the Year at the Federal Level 2014 regio-effect County Alzey-Worms 2017 FAIR’N GREEN Membership of FAIR’NGREEN has supported us on our way with professional advice and the enriching exchange among the European membership wine estates since 2018.

- SOILS, CLIMATE, SITES | Jung & Knobloch
SOILS CLIMATE SITES Wine is bottled poetry. ROBERT L. STEVENSON OUR WINES TASTE OF SUN AND HOLIDAYS Our winegrowing estate is located in the heart of Rheinhessen, the largest winegrowing region of Germany. Here the interplay of soils, climate and locations creates the optimal conditions for wonderful and unique wines. Our soils. The history of the winegrowing region Rheinhessen dates back 20 million years to the Tertiary when the region was flooded by the Primordial Sea. The receding sea left valuable oyster banks and shell limestone deposits behind, which account for the mineral character of our wines with their lively and at the same time harmonious acidity. Later deposits include fertile, nutrient-rich soil components like loam, loess, and airborne sands that give our wines a full-bodied taste and great cellaring potential. In other locations wind and rain contribute to the re-emergence of the oldest soil layers, such as the so-called ‘Rotliegende’. Our climate, a gift from heaven and earth Rheinhessen has a very special climate. The neighboring regions Odenwald, Taunus, Hunsrück and Pfälzer Bergland hold a protective hand over us. Winds and rain are slowed down or kept off completely. Warm air can freely enter Rheinhessen from the South and these unique climatic conditions – dry, warm and delicious – can be tasted in our wines which capture a distinctive holiday spirit that can also be experienced in our daily life. Our vineyards. The mixture does it. Different soils, different sun exposures and slope gradients lead to ever new combinations which resonate in each and every glass. This is what makes our wines so exceptionally tasty and interesting, while the resulting extraordinary diversity enables the selection of a suitable wine for every taste and occasion: Albiger Hundskopf The Albiger Hundskopf is a wind-open southwest-facing slope with an up to 45° incline and optimal sun exposure. The chalky soil with rich clay components promotes optimal water and heat storage. This soil and the slope provide ideal conditions for the growth of mineral wines with great ageing potential. Our single-site Riesling wine grows on the Rotliegend. Albiger Schloss Hammerstein The Albiger Schloss Hammerstein vineyard was mentioned for the first time in a document in 767 on the occasion of its donation to the Lorch Monastery. The ruin located on the vineyard Schloss Hammerstein speaks of Roman times. The Romans already knew that outstanding wines could be grown on this soil with its high proportion of limestone that was shaped by the primordial sea. The exciting microclimatic conditions give us wines with a harmonious and at the same time stable acidity and ripe fruit. Spiesheimer Osterberg The Spiesheimer Osterberg is a south-facing slope with excellent microclimatic conditions protected from north and west. The soil consists of deep clay marl and produces elegant wines with fine fruit aromas and marked persistence and length.
- TRADITION | Jung & Knobloch
Das Weingut verbindet auf vorbildliche Weise bewährte Traditionen mit innovativen Ansätzen. So wurde bereits im Jahr 1813 die alte Weinpresse erworben, die heute noch als Wahrzeichen des Guts gilt und im Logo des Unternehmens abgebildet ist. Im Laufe der Jahre konnten bedeutende Meilensteine erreicht werden, darunter die erste Trockenbeerenauslese im Jahr 1988 sowie die Produktion von Eisweinen, die seit 1979 zu den Spezialitäten des Hauses zählen.

A tour through the impressive wine cellar invites the visitor to marvel at the successful integration of old and new elements. Again and again new ideas, smart decisions and an extra portion of blessings have shaped the history of our wine estate.

- DIVERSITY | Jung & Knobloch
DIVERSITY Who knows to enjoy is not drinking wine - but tasting secrets. SALVATOR DALI LIFE IS DIVERSE - AND SO ARE OUR WINES. Our selection of wines is as diverse and unique as the people and soils here in the heart of Rhinehessen. 21 grape varieties on more than 54 hectares of vineyards and more than 60 own wines and sparkling wines: a truly impressive repertoire. A characteristic special feature: Every wine is individually accompanied in its uniqueness from the vineyard to the wine bottle. Grape variety and vineyard shape the aroma and taste. We promote the potential of each of our wines with expertise and love of top quality products. To do justice to the diversity of our wines, we have invested in the renovation of our wine cellar with various stainless steel tanks of different sizes and innovative efficient cooling technology . Stored side by side are traditional wooden barrels - the oldest of which dates back to the year 1893 - and numerous barrique barrels used primarily for the ageing of red wines. Each wine bears our signature and reveals its own personal character
