GERMANY’S
NORTHERNMOST

KEITUM [SYLT]
Germany’s northernmost vineyard lies
10 meters [ca. 33 ft.] above sea level in
close proximity to the Wadden Sea on the
outskirts of Keitum on Sylt, an island
in the North Sea. In 2009, the Agricultural
Ministry of Schleswig-Holstein awarded
Weingut Balthasar Ress a contract to
cultivate a 0.3-ha [0.7-acre] piece of
property on the island.
German wine
The small vineyard in Keitum/Sylt lies in a hollow and is
sheltered on three sides by plant growth that guarantees
optimal wind protection. The microclimate, with its high
number of sun hours [1,714 on Sylt compared with 1,587 in
the Rheingau], bodes well for cultivating the early ripening
varieties Solaris and Rivaner.

WINE IN TUBES
Elegant glass tubes with a high-quality design lend top wines an
exclusive touch and make wine tastings something quite special
– even for wine professionals. Patented in France, the awardwinning tubes were orginally designed to help wine-growers send
samples as easily as possible. Bottling wine in small quantities
– such as this 10 cl format [3.4 oz] – opens up unprecedented
opportunities for discovering the world of very fine wines. Even
the most expensive premium wines can be sampled by the
glass by virtually everyone. Whether at home or at an event, in a
restaurant or in a wine shop, »wine in tubes« offers a completely
new means of enjoying and/or presenting wine.

SPIRITS
Consistently high standards of performance and
reliability have been the hallmarks of the estate since
Balthasar Ress founded it in 1870. Naturally, these
high expectations, which are clearly reflected in the
high quality of Balthasar Ress wines, also apply to the
Balthasar Ress brandies and the materials from which
they are made – the finest grapes and pomace. The
estate depends exclusively on renowned, experienced
distillers to produce its brandies. With skill, knowledge,
and sensitivity they create the choice distillates of
Balthasar Ress.

A dark amber-colored wine brandy. Wonderfully complex
