The 2024 vintage represents a major milestone, celebrating both the estate's 675th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of the Sommerpalais brand, which was first introduced in 1994.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are sourced from steep, slate-rich vineyards across the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer valleys. In the cellar, the fruit is processed gently using a modern gravity-flow system completed in 2016, avoiding harsh pumping. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the pristine primary fruit and crisp regional character. The wine is aged briefly on its fine lees before early bottling to capture its signature youthful freshness and lively mineral tension.
