Sauvignon Blanc Welles 15
This expressive Sauvignon Blanc from old vines shows flavors of cassis leaves, herbs, mint, green tea and a salty minerality. Intense on the palate, the wine has a great aging potential.
Our history starts in 1770, thus already involved in winemaking for 240 years. And we have always remained a family enterprise, because it is fundamental to our self-conception and our tradition: It gives us the freedom to create our wines just as we want them to be, apart from any fashion: pure, elegant, timeless.

Our most important assets are the soils from which our wine draws its vigor. On six challenging single-vineyard sites, mostly very old and deeply rooted vines thrive, each of which has its own pedigree well known to us. Our wine is exclusively produced from fruit that is sourced from our own vineyards.
Our credo is timelessness. We consider winemaking to be an annual metamorphosis: The grapevines grow up from earth, stones, minerals. Vines and grapes flourish under the sun, wind and rain. From these, our wines are finally crafted by hand.
