Sybille’s family have been living in Lieser, in the Mosel, for many generations and have always been involved in aspects of the wine business, from producing barrels to looking after wines for other local growers.  They even acted as wine merchants.  Sybille left home to study and became a wine merchant herself, opening a wine shop to help fund her studies.  She began by selling her family’s wine, and as she began to buy other people’s wines she noticed that the quality of the region was sadly slipping.  

Taking things into her own hands, Sybille returned to the Mosel to begin producing wines on her family’s estate.  To help increase the quality she knew she had to produce a dry wine, and not the sweet style of the 1980s.  She also knew the vineyards must be treated without chemicals, and so began the long process of converting to ’Bio Organic’, finally being certified in 2003.

 2011 was a brilliant vintage, with Sybille describing it as 'one of the best of the century', being able to harvest all parcels all quality levels - not something that is possible every year. Auselse Feinherb was harvested from a selection of parcels over 15ha, with the vines planted between 1920 and 1950.
