Cellar Door: yes<br />

Winemaker: Alexander Gysler<br />

Contact: Sebastian Oberhausen<br />

Hectares: 12 ha<br />

Farming: organic<br />

Axel Gysler’s resolute attitude is to be<br />

admired: he has worked according to<br />

biodynamic principles since 2004,<br />

longer than most wine growers in the country.<br />

“Working with nature for us is craftmanship,<br />

the result is a cultural product and a pleasure,”<br />

he reports. He farms twelve hectares of vines<br />

around Alzey, the slightly cooler climate there<br />

and the constant winds characterise his wine<br />

style. All his wines have something in common<br />

and show their provenance. They carry names<br />

like “Sternenglanz” or “Klangwerk”: This<br />

may well sound poetic but it is expressed in the<br />

material substance of the wines.<br />
