Domäne Serrig

THE HISTORYHEIR TO A LEGEND

Founded in 1904 by Kaiser Wilhelm II., it stood as the largest and most avantgarde state domain of its time.

Served as an iconic representation of state viticulture for numerous decades.

Privatized in the late 1980s and later acquired by Markus Molitor in 2016.

Beginning in 2017, extensive recultivation and site restructuring efforts were undertaken.

THE TERROIRVOGELSANG

Unique 25-hectare plot situated on a steep slate incline with gradients reaching up to 105%.

Positioned facing the south/southwest, at elevations ranging from 220–340 a.s.l.

The region enjoys a cool microclimate which allows for extended ripening periods. This results in wines with moderate alcohol levels of 10–12% vol, yet they retain a profound richness.

THE MISSIONTWO TRADITIONAL WINES
