About the winemaker
In 1982 Herbert Weis took over the Weingut Erben von Beulwitz in the Ruwer valley on the Mosel near Trier. Here we find vineyards on the steepest slopes in the country. Slopes where the soil is rich in slate. The main vineyard in the Ruwer Valley is the Kaseler Nies'chen and the Weis family has 2.5 hectares here divided into three different plots: Im Steingarten, Auf den Mauern and Im Taubenberg. On these vineyards only the diva of the grape varieties can be found, namely riesling. The vines on Herbert Weis' plots are over 100 years old and produce very low yields every year.
