The Hans Lang wine estate was founded in 1953 by my father, Johann Joseph Lang. We have 18 hectares of vineyards in the renowned villages of Hattenheim and Assmannshausen which border the river Rhine. These are planted to Riesling (75%), Pinot noir (15%), Pinot blanc (5%), Chardonnay (2%), Grüner Silvaner (2%) and Pinot gris (1%). In very good years we also produce a small amount of Gewürztraminer, my father's personal favourite.
Only the very best fruit makes it into our wines and to achieve this, we employ natural viticultural methods, restrict yields and selectively harvest by hand. The wine is aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and, where appropriate, in traditional oak barrels or small (220 litre) new oak “barriques”. Of our white wines, 85% are dry whilst all of our red wines are dry. We are also proud of our noble sweet wines which are classified according to residual sugar level: Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. |
