Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours took place from Monday, June 19, 2023 to Thursday, June 29, 2023.
On the 2023 Tour, we visited 3 non-mainstream, niche-wine, up-and-coming producers:
Tour and Tasting at Niche Wine Producer Weingut Herr & Frau Lüttmer, in Vitzenburg, Saale-Unstrut, with Klaus Lüttmer - Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours
Tasting at Weingut Seufert in Iphofen, Franken, a Niche Producer of "Natural Wines", with Laura Seufert - Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours
Tasting at Up-and-coming Weingut Lassak in Hessigheim, Württemberg, with Stefanie and Fabian Lassak - Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours
The visit of Weingut Lassak was a tasting-only visit. Annette helped out a bit with baby-sitting.
Weingut Lassak in Hessigheim, Würrtemberg
The
young couple Stefanie and Fabian Lassak are both native to this
beautiful northern region of Württemberg, close to Heilbronn at the
Neckar River. Stefanie comes from a mixed farm with cattle, crops, and a
few hectares of vines. She trained at various well-known wineries in
the region where she met her future husband. They both continued their
path together, went to New Zealand for two years, then gained further
practical experience at wineries in Austria and Burgundy, among them
Roland Velich and Comtes Liger Belair. In 2016 they took over the family
vineyards with up to 55 year old vines on weathered shell limestone
soils and started to make wine.
Today they farm about 8.5 acres and focus on the typical varieties of the region: Lemberger, Pinot Noir, and Riesling. To them it is important to do all the work by themselves both in the vineyards as well as in the cellar to give their wines a clear signature. They work according to organic principles with biodynamic preparations and meticulously work the soil to bring it back to life.
Weingut Lassak - FALSTAFF Weinguide 2021
„Das nennt man einen Blitzstart: Erst zum zweiten Mal stellen Stefanie und Fabian Lassak ihre Weine an und schon wird ihr Weingut von der Falstaff-Jury als einer von drei Newcomern nominiert (siehe S. 22). Drei Hektar bewirtschaftet das Winzerpaar mit Fokus auf Lemberger, Spätburgunder und Riesling, die vor allem auf Muschelkalk in terrassierten Steillagen stehen. Die Weine tragen alle eine sehr individuelle Handschrift, sie verbinden nahtlos Substanz, Lebendigkeit, Spannung und Frucht. Der Lemberger aus der Hessigheimer Steige zählt zu den besten in Württemberg. Glückwunsch zur Nominierung!“
Weingut Lassak - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
…The longer the couple cultivate theit own vineyards, the finer and deeper their wines will become. Stilistically and concerning craftmanship, this is already an excellent producer of authentic (natural) wines.
Their 2017 Spätburgunder is already superbly delicate and fine, while the 2018, which includes the first harvest from a plantation with 10.000 vines per hectare, indicates the immense future potential of the Lassak terroirs. The production is extremely low, and i´d bet each vintage will be sold out very early once Lassak isn´t a hidden treasure anymore. I can´t wait to report about the upcoming vintages. Lassak is in Württemberg what Wasenhaus is in Baden: a boutique winery with exciting wines that we will have to talk about here every year.
Weingut Lassak - Wein-Plus „Entdeckung des Jahres“ in Württemberg
„Die Rieslinge in sich ruhend, dabei komplex, dicht und ausgesprochen mineralisch, die Roten kühl, straff, herb-saftig und von anregender Frische; nur 5 Weine produzieren Stefanie und Fabian Lassak auf ihrem kleinen Weingut in Hessigheim, und einer ist besser als der andere. Seit ihrem Debut mit dem Jahrgang 2016 haben die Weine hier jedes Jahr ein bisschen zugelegt, wurden tiefer, vielschichtiger, feiner und präziser. Ein Weingut dass man selbst dann im Auge behalten sollte, wenn man sich für Württemberg bislang noch wenig beschäftigt hat.“
