{"title":"Prince zur Lippe","description":"The German winery Prinz zur Lippe is the oldest winery in the state of Saxony. After being expropriated by the Soviet Union in 1945, it was returned to the family\u0026#39;s possession in 1990, along with Proschwitz Castle, through its purchase by Dr. Georg zur Lippe. Today, it boasts 87 hectares of vineyards, including the prime sites of Kloster Heilig Kreuz Meissen and Schloss Proschwitz. Prinz zur Lippe\u0026#39;s vines thrive in soils composed of a combination of granite and loess loam. Among the grape varieties cultivated are Elbling, Weissburgunder, Riesling, Scheurebe, Pinot Gris, and Goldriesling. The winery produces approximately 400,000 bottles of wine annually. The interplay of delicate acidity, pronounced primary and secondary aromas, and rich minerality is like a fingerprint of our wines. The distinctive Proschwitz terroir imparts a unique and lasting taste experience to our wines.","products":[{"product_id":"schloss-proschwitz-scheurebe-trocken","title":"Meissen Scheurebe quality wine dry","description":"Rhubarb, gooseberries, fresh herbs, a touch of tart grapefruit and elderflower.
