Röttgen is our warmest appellation, marking the eastern end of our village. Grown on terraces of gray to ocher-colored clay slate, interspersed with quartz. In 1951, this vineyard in the heart of the site became part of our family. Over the next 3 years, the mostly fallow terraces with collapsed walls were reclaimed by hand by my grandfather and great-grandfather. This wine comes from the oldest terraces in the center of the parcel, around the inscription "Winninger Röttgen," where the vines are between 30 and 60 years old.
