For this reason, we grow this wonderful grape variety at several locations of our winery Geiger und Söhne in Thüngersheim in Franconia, so that we can tease out the full range of aromatic subtleties depending on the condition of the sites and process them into distinctive white wines with different tastes.

The grapes for the specialty Geiger & Söhne Weissburgunder trocken from the Erste Geige category are hand-picked and carefully vinified in a double barrel.
