| The „C.H. Berres“ estate is located in the commune of Ürzig (Bernkastel district) in the Mosel wine-growing region in Germany. The family tree can be traced back to the 16th century. As of the 2004 vintage, Alfred Berres handed over responsibility for wine production to his son Markus Berres, who represents the 21st generation of the family. He studied viticulture and oenology at Geisenheim, graduating with his engineer’s diploma. During his studies, he spent an overseas semester at the chard Farm estate in New Zealand. The vineyard area totals 3.5 hectares, with holdings in the following sites: Goldwingert and Würzgarten (Ürzig), Herrenberg and Treppchen (Erden), Hubertuslay (Kinheim), Klosterberg (Wehlen), as well as Himmelreich (Zeltingen). The estate was dedicated purely to Riesling until the 2005 vintage, today Riesling still accounts for 90% of the area, with 10% planted to Pinot Blanc. All the wines have used Stelvin screwcap closures since the 2004 vintage.
As far as predicate quality wines are concerned, the estate#s internal standards demand a must weight at least 10° Oechsle higher than the legal minimum must weight for each category. The wines are marketed in various product ranges, with individual labels. The traditional range (up to the 2004 vintage) was generally fermented with natural yeasts in large 1.000-litre oak barrels, and matured in these barrels as well. As of 2004, significant investments were made in the areas of grape processing and cellar technology. Since then, grapes have been picked exclusively into small buckets, and moved only by gravity feed. The grapes are pressed gently, and after settling and clarification are racked into stainless steel tanks, and fermented with temperature control. The „Impulse“ range designates the estate wines, followed by the „Kabinett, Spätlese & Auslese“ range from fully ripe grapes. The wines of the “Exklusiv“ range are made from selected grapes with botrytis, picked and processed in painstaking hand-work. These wines are available in limited quantities only, and are bottled in 375 ml sizes, they use a gold Stelvin closure. A perlé wine as well as two bottle-fermented sparkling wines are also produced.
