What Pauline and Carl say about Cider:

In 2021 we did our first little experiment with apples, pears, grapes and quinces. The experiment was bottled and called “Danke Danke Cider”. The 2022 cider is again documenting something we are grateful for, as not all of the fruits for this cider were our own. They come from friends and coincidental acquaintances. We harvested the apples and pears from an old orchard in the Hunsrück, from our own trees on a field behind the winery and from a befriended farmer’s trees in our village. They were mashed, pressed and directly infused with already fermenting must, so that there is no potential for oxidation. We then added fresh quince juice shortly before bottling as a dosage. The quinces also came from dear friends.

This cider tastes truly sophisticated with a beautiful structure. The quinces shine through and the different fruits fuse in a harmonic, voluminous roundness.
