    The Domaine Valentin Zusslin vineyard is rooted in a unique terroir, characterized by clay-limestone soils and sun-drenched slopes. These conditions promote optimal grape ripening, allowing the full aromatic potential of Riesling to be expressed. The vines, some several decades old, have deep roots, contributing to the complexity and minerality of the wines. The biodynamic practices employed here ensure a natural balance and healthy soil, essential for producing high-quality wines.

    Owner and history

    Currently managed by the Zusslin family, the estate is the fruit of a long line of passionate winemakers. The current owners, Valentin and his sister, bring a modern perspective to family traditions, while emphasizing sustainable practices. Their commitment to biodiversity and respect for the environment is reflected in every bottle.

    Vinification and aging

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to preserve freshness and aromas. Aging on fine lees for several months imparts a creamy texture and enriches the wine's aromatic profile. Each step is carried out with care, allowing the 2018 Bollenberg Neuberg to reveal the full richness of its terroir.
