Brothers Andreas and Georg Pesau run the family winery which has a tradition dating back more than 300 years. The Pesau name was first mentioned in connection with wine and the town of Falkenstein over 400 years ago. The family's vineyards are located on the hills surrounding the historic town. These hills offers wonderful geological and natural conditions for viticulture: unique soils are characterised by shell limestone which formed about 17 million years ago and have been the basis for mineral wines for centuries. The forested chain of hills around Falkenstein offers the vineyards protection from harsh north and west winds, they also create a balanced microclimate that helps ripen the grapes. In the vineyard, the brothers strive for a sustainable, stable and ecological balance. In order to achieve this, crop cover is managed according to ecological principles allowing beneficial insects to thrive. In the cellar, feeling, experience and time come to the fore. The character of the wines reflects the soil, vintage and grape variety. The signature of the winemaker is decisive: it is characterised by a sensitive approach to nature and careful use of resources.
