The starting point for their wines is therefore: terroir expression through healthy soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow yields per hectare, manual selection of the best grapes, and a very slow vinification with natural yeasts without the addition of sulfites in large wooden foudres do the rest.

For instance, Philipp has been named the best white winemaker in Germany twice by the authoritative Eichelmann, in 2003 and 2013. In 2014, he received the same title from Gault Millau.
