Palate
Glarea tastes fresh and juicy and is characterised by fullness and a distinctive minerality.
Growing Conditions
on the lower part of the alluvial fan of the Höllenbach stream, where the soil is composed of limestone and gravel; the fan’s sedimented rocks originate from the highest peaks of the Mendel mountain range, amongst which Roen (2,116m). Due to the weight of the cool downslope winds that start blowing in the nighttime the cool air ammasses in our Glarea vineyards.
The low altitude (between 220 and 280 m a.s.l.) and the vicinity to the valley bottom make for a special microclimate, which is characterized by a strong diurnal temperature variation. During the day, the Glarea vineyards benefit from very warm temperatures, while in the night and in the early morning hours fresh air masses make them drop.
