Origin & Terroir

The grapes for Dancing Grapes grow in the sun-drenched vineyards around Ihringen, on the southern Kaiserstuhl.

Soil Structure and Microclimate

The vines thrive predominantly on loess-loam soils, known for their excellent water and nutrient retention. This allows for the development of intense primary fruit aromas. The warm microclimate of the Kaiserstuhl ensures optimal ripeness, while cool night winds preserve the crucial acidity structure for this wine.

Viticulture Philosophy

Weingut Briem focuses on sustainable cultivation and selective harvesting of the grapes. For Dancing Grapes, the grapes are picked at the optimal time of aromatic ripeness to guarantee maximum freshness and zestiness.

Vinification & Aging

The production of the 2024 Dancing Grapes follows the principle of maximum freshness preservation.

• Fermentation: Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This cool management is essential to stabilize the volatile fruit aromas and natural carbonic acid.

• Aging: After fermentation, the wine is aged only briefly on its fine lees to preserve its youthful character. Oak aging is consistently avoided to keep the unadulterated fruit characteristics in focus.

Food Pairing & Service

The Dancing Grapes 2024 is an excellent all-rounder for light, modern cuisine.

• Specific Dishes: An ideal companion to light summer salads, vegetarian sushi, finger food, or grilled white fish. It also pairs excellently as an aperitif or with Asian dishes with a light spice.

• Vegetarian Alternative: Zucchini fritters with herb quark or pasta with lemon pesto.

• Serving Temperature: Ideally served ice-cold at 6–8 °C.

• Glassware: We recommend a classic white wine glass with a narrow opening to concentrate the fresh aromas.
