    • Description :

      The Jesuitengarten vineyard originally belonged to the Jesuit monks in this region. The Jordan family has owned it since 1793. After the grapes are hand harvested, spontaneous fermentation takes place with 75% of the must in wooden barrels and 25% in stainless steel tanks.
