Product information "Koegler Verjus"
In Eltville, in the idyllic Rheingau, lies the Koegler winery, the center of which is the Bechtermünz farmstead, built almost 600 years ago.
Johannes Gutenberg lived and worked in this historic building.
In 1998, Ferdinand Koegler took over the traditional Eltville winery with around 7.5 hectares of vineyards. He was able to revive the tradition with a fresh breeze and a young spirit. In the meantime, the area under cultivation has grown to 36 hectares and stretches from Eltville to Hochheim.
Building on the experience of five generations, the work of the Koegler family is characterized by almost unlimited passion, as well as creativity and a good deal of courage to try out the new and unusual.
In the vineyards, attention is paid to natural processes and the sustainable use of resources. Therefore, it seems only logical to offer a verjuice in addition to the excellent wines, in order to make the grapes of the "green harvest" an exciting product.
 
In 2003, Ferdinand Koegler, inspired by a Swiss colleague, came up with the idea of ​​processing his Riesling grapes into Verjuice. The Riesling grape gives the verjuice a pronounced acidity and is therefore perfect for the production of the sour grape juice.
Since Riesling is used a lot in the Rheingau, Ferdinand Koegler knew he had to try it. In particular, because the grapes here benefit from the first-class Rheingau location, the clay-slate soil and the unique climate of the Rheingau and have a balanced acidity.
While around 500 bottles of Verjus were filled in the first year, the amount is now increasing from year to year.
 
Bad grapes are removed by hand before the harvest. The actual harvest then takes place at night, since low temperatures are required here. In order to give the grapes as much aroma as possible, they are left to stand for a few hours before pressing. This is how the valuable aromas from the grape skins get into the juice.

The special thing about the Koegler Verjus: Like the grape juice from the winery, the Verjus is bottled in a cold-sterile condition in order to preserve the aromas and avoid the cooking tones that occur with hot bottling.
 
Seasoning made from the juice of unripe grapes

Contains antioxidants and sulphites
