For every occasion excellent wine from Anselmann
The fully matured grapes are partially harvested by hand and are vinificated with utmost diligence using the latest technology. This approach ensures that the typical characteristics of each grape variety are preserved. Riesling and Pinot gris/Grauer Burgunder are famous white grape varieties. The Riesling Classic and Grauer Burgunder Classic are fruity and full-bodied. They are a good match with fish and meat.
Silvaner Icewine and Ortega Trockenbeerenauslese/TBA are famous noble sweet dessert wines. They are often used as highly estimated presents.
Special attention is put on the red grape varieties, i.e. Dornfelder or Pinot Noir that mature in small oak barrels (Barrique) to become powerful, complex red wines. High-quality wines that meet international standard are the result. In the last decade the wine estate emerged to one of the most successful German wine growing estates at national and international competitions - an unmistakable evidence of the quality.
In 2010, the family Anselmann received the “Federal Prize of Honour in Gold” which is awarded by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection. In addition, the Anselmann family received the title "Winemaker of the Year 2010" conferred by the German Agricultural Society. In 2011, the siblings were even awarded two Federal Prizes of Honour at once! Furthermore, the winery won the prize for the “Best Collection – dry white wine”. Further “Federal Prizes of Honour” followed in 2016, 2018 and 2019.
The Anselmann estate has been official partner of the German Houses at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sydney, Athens, Peking, London, Sotchi and Rio and will also be official partner for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
