Dr. Heide Kegel is slowly breathing fresh life into this beautiful property at the foot of the Altenberg vineyard in Kanzem, a site that rivals the Scharzhofberg in historic importance, with 2008 being the most consistent effort since 2005. Even the simple dry estate riesling has gained in stature, while the two cask-vinified Grosses Gewachs are excellent for the vintage and the kabinetts and spatleses are spot on.
