Riesling from Muschelkalk limestone – that is Saale-Unstrut in its most direct form: clear, mineral, with an acid structure that supports the wine without dominating it.

The Pawis winery in Freyburg is one of the leading estates in the Saale-Unstrut region, Germany's northernmost wine-growing area. The family cultivates their vineyards on Muschelkalk (shell limestone) soils – a type of limestone that imparts a salty, cool minerality to the Riesling, rarely found in warmer regions.

In the glass, the "Muschelkalk" displays aromas of lemon zest and white peach, along with a hint of chalk and fresh herbs. The acidity is lively yet integrated – not sharp, but an invigorating line that extends into the long, slightly salty finish. Medium-bodied, with clear fruit and a dry style.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C . Pairs well with pike-perch fillet with caper butter, goat cheese, or Asian dishes with ginger and lemongrass. Also a good choice as an aperitif on a warm evening.

The Winery

Weingut Bernard Pawis

VDP Member Estate

Bernard Pawis took over his father's winery in 1998 – and built a modern winery in Freyburg a year later. The area grew to 16 hectares, and in 2001 he was admitted to the VDP. A clear sign of quality.

After eight years, the family moved on: to the historic Zscheiplitz estate. In a year and a half, a new winery and a unique ambiance for wine tastings were created from the old horse stable (built in 1862).

Since 2007, the old viticultural tradition of the Zscheiplitz monastery has been revived here. Unstrut wines with history.
