It is often where there is difficulty that there is also quality! The best wines of Saarland come from the steepest hillsides, where machines are rare, where each step is synonymous with effort. Because it is precisely there that the rays of the sun dispense their heat until late in the evening on the schistous soil and the grapes to better sublimate the maturity of the latter.
With the Cantzheim estate, Stephan and Anna Reimann are working to preserve this ancient winegrowing culture. Because these rugged hills do not only mean manual work, effort and slowness, but also depth, finesse and elegance. Anna and Stephan Reimann are driven by a vision: to produce, on a unique terroir, wines that are unique in the world.
Anna, a trained oenologist and cellar mistress of the estate, personally follows each wine from the vine to the bottle. “We exclusively use natural fermentation using indigenous yeasts from our vineyard. Our wines are aged in stainless steel vats or in oak barrels,” she explains. Cantzheim produces Rieslings of all types, as well as quality dry Pinot Blancs and Crémants, fermented in the bottle using the traditional method.
