Weingut Cantzheim - "der Kanzemer" Riesling Feinherb 2023

Weingut Cantzheim was founded in 2016 by Anna and Stephan Reimann, a husband-and-wife team whose backgrounds in horticulture, agronomy and winemaking brought them to the Saar with a shared ambition: to revive neglected steep-slope vineyards and make precise, site-driven Rieslings from some of the region’s most distinctive slate soils. Their story began with two hectares of abandoned parcels in the Kanzemer Sonnenberg, followed by the acquisition and rehabilitation of additional vineyards in Kanzem, Saarburg, Wiltingen, Filzen, Ayl and Wawern. Anna studied viticulture and enology in Montpellier and has extensive experience in the Mosel wine trade, while Stephan, who grew up in a family of gardeners, holds a doctorate in plant pathology and trained as a master winemaker. Their wines are shaped by the demanding terrain — steep vineyards worked largely by hand — and by a philosophy centered on expressing the depth, finesse and mineral character of Saar Riesling. Cantzheim ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and works with both stainless steel and oak, with Riesling at the heart of the estate’s production.
