The Mays have been making wine since 1815, and today brothers Fritz and Karl May run the winery together in the seventh generation. Their winery has grown to 34 hectares in recent years, and they plan to keep it that way. The Karl May Winery has been organically certified since 2007. The more natural approach to the soil (no herbicides or artificial fertilizers) and the vines (gentle pruning and yield reduction) has benefited the wines. They are terroir-driven, clear and balanced, show their origins and grape varieties, are straightforward and have great development potential, from estate wine to village wine to single-vineyard wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKarl May Winery: Wine from the Wonnegau\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere in the southeasternmost part of Rheinhessen, optimal conditions for viticulture prevail. The many hours of sunshine allow the grapes to ripen well and also to achieve physiological ripeness. Especially if, like Fritz and Peter May, you also focus on red grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet, which account for 30% of the vineyard area. Their vineyards stretch from Bechtheim to Westhofen to Osthofen, with the calcareous sites Geyersberg and Goldberg producing particularly spicy-mineral white and red wines. Even though the two brothers have repeatedly taken top places in the German Red Wine Award, the main grape variety of the Karl May Winery is Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWell-rated\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 stars in Eichelmann\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 grapes in Gault Millau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 stars in Vinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"karl-may-norange-silvaner-2022-bio","title":"NOrange Silvaner – 2022","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKarl May Winery – NOrange Silvaner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNOrange Silvaner 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003eKarl May Winery\u003c\/strong\u003e is an orange wine from Rheinhessen.

Die wenigsten Rebsorten schmecken nach dem, woraus sie gemacht werden. Chardonnay erinnert an Apfel oder Butter, Grauburgunder an Birne und Nuss — an frische Trauben erinnert kaum etwas. Der Muskateller ist die große Ausnahme unter den weißen Sorten. Seine Beeren tragen exakt jene Duftstoffe, die später aus dem Glas steigen. Wer zum ersten Mal an diesem Wein riecht, erkennt die Traube sofort wieder. Genau darin liegt sein Reiz — und der Grund, warum diese Rarität eine treue Gemeinde hat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHolunderblüte im Duft, Zitrus und Würze am Gaumen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Jahrgang 2025 duftet nach Holunderblüte, frisch geriebener Muskatnuss und reifer Zitrusfrucht. Dahinter liegt eine leise Note von Weinbergpfirsich. Im Glas zeigt er ein helles Strohgelb mit grünen Reflexen. Der erste Eindruck in der Nase ist floral, fast wie ein Sommerstrauß; erst mit etwas Luft schiebt sich die würzige Muskatnote nach vorn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAm Gaumen wechselt der Wein die Richtung. Statt Üppigkeit kommt Spannung: 6,9 Gramm Säure pro Liter geben ihm Länge und Zug, der Restzucker bleibt mit 5,2 Gramm deutlich darunter. Der Wein ist damit analytisch wie sensorisch trocken. Limettenschale und ein Hauch grüner Kräuter begleiten jeden Schluck, im Abgang steht die typische Muskatwürze. Das Ergebnis wirkt schlank und geradlinig, nicht breit oder cremig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrocken bedeutet hier nicht karg. Die 5,2 Gramm Restzucker polstern die Säure gerade so weit ab, dass der Wein rund wirkt, ohne süß zu schmecken. Dieses Spiel aus Duftfülle und schlankem Körper macht den Charakter des Jahrgangs aus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZwei Dinge sollte niemand von ihm erwarten. Wer leise, neutrale Weißweine bevorzugt — einen stillen Silvaner etwa — wird den Muskateller als zu duftbetont empfinden. Und wer Schmelz aus dem Holzfass sucht, findet hier bewusst das Gegenteil: Edelstahl, Frische, Kante.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEin Weißwein für helle Küche und schnelle Abende\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Muskateller begleitet alles, was frisch und leicht auf den Tisch kommt — Salate, gedämpfter Fisch, junger Ziegenkäse. Drei Ideen aus der Praxis. Erstens: grüner Spargelsalat mit Zitronenvinaigrette und gehobeltem Parmesan; die Säure des Weins nimmt die Vinaigrette auf, statt gegen sie zu arbeiten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZweitens: gedämpfter Zander mit Ingwer, Koriander und Frühlingslauch. Die Duftstoffe der Rebsorte verbinden sich mit den Kräutern, die Säure hält das Gericht lebendig — eine Kombination, an der viele neutralere Weißweine scheitern. Drittens: Ziegenfrischkäse mit Thymian und etwas Honig auf geröstetem Brot, ein Aperitifteller in fünf Minuten. Auch solo funktioniert er, mit nichts als gesalzenen Mandeln daneben.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnd weil er trocken ausgebaut ist, verträgt er Säure und milde Schärfe auf dem Teller. Ein Thai-Curry mit Kokosmilch, Sommerrollen mit Minze oder ein Ceviche mit Limette bringen ihn nicht aus dem Gleichgewicht. Aromatik trifft Aromatik — das trägt weiter, als es ein neutraler Begleiter könnte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eServieren Sie den Wein bei 8 Grad aus einem tulpenförmigen Weißweinglas. Deutlich kälter eingeschenkt verliert er genau das, wofür man ihn öffnet: seinen Duft. Für kräftige Schmorgerichte, dunkle Saucen und Geräuchertes ist er dagegen nicht geeignet — dort geht die feine Aromatik schlicht unter. Soll der Abend grasiger und kräuterwürziger schmecken, ist der \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/karl-may-sauvignon-blanc-2025-bio\"\u003eSauvignon Blanc aus demselben Keller\u003c\/a\u003e die passende Alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGut zu wissen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eine angebrochene Flasche hält verschlossen im Kühlschrank zwei bis drei Tage. Die Muskat-Aromatik gehört zu den stabileren unter den Weißweinen — der zweite Abend schmeckt oft kaum anders als der erste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarum Gelber Muskateller in Deutschland selten geworden ist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGelber Muskateller wird seit der Antike kultiviert, belegt in Deutschland aber weniger als ein halbes Prozent der Rebfläche. International heißt die Sorte Muscat blanc à petits grains — kleinbeeriger weißer Muskat. Sie ist ertragsschwach und wählerisch beim Standort. Viele Betriebe haben sie deshalb aufgegeben; wer sie pflanzt, tut es aus Überzeugung.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Osthofen, zwischen Worms und dem rheinhessischen Hügelland, gehört diese Überzeugung zum Haus. Der Liebenauer Hof der Familie May besteht seit 1815, heute führen die Brüder Peter und Fritz May das Weingut in siebter Generation. Ihre 35 Hektar im Wonnegau bewirtschaften sie seit 2007 nach ökologischen Richtlinien, ohne Herbizide und synthetische Spritzmittel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie Lagen rund um Osthofen, darunter der kalkgeprägte Goldberg, sind für Weißweine mit stabiler Säure bekannt. Für eine duftstarke Sorte wie den Muskateller ist das ein Glücksfall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Boden erklärt den Stil dieses Weins. Unter den Reben liegt Tonmergel, durchzogen von Kalkstein: Der Mergel speichert die Winterfeuchte, der Kalk gibt dem Wein sein Säurerückgrat. So bekommt der Traubenduft ein trockenes, geradliniges Fundament statt süßlicher Schwere. Im Keller wird kühl im Edelstahltank vergoren; Holz würde die feinen Aromen nur überlagern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEin Detail am Rande: Für den Traubenduft sind Terpene verantwortlich, vor allem Linalool und Geraniol — dieselben Aromastoffe, die auch in Holunderblüten und Rosen vorkommen. Der Muskateller lagert sie direkt in der Beerenhaut ein. Deshalb braucht dieser Wein keine aromatische Spezialhefe und keinen Kellertrick: Sein Duft ist schon im Weinberg fertig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrocken gekeltert bleibt der seltenere Weg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeltweit werden die meisten Muskateller-Weine süß ausgebaut, von den Likörweinen Südfrankreichs bis zu den Dessertweinen der griechischen Inseln. Die trockene Lesart ist die seltenere — und die ehrlichere Prüfung, denn ohne Restsüße kann sich kein Fehler verstecken. Karl May keltert den Muskateller als Gutswein: als unkomplizierten, alltagstauglichen Einstieg in das Sortiment des Hauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGenau so sollten Sie ihn behandeln. Er ist auf Frische angelegt und in den ersten zwei Jahren nach der Lese am besten. Wer gereifte, vielschichtige Weißweine mit Lagerpotenzial erwartet, greift besser zum \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/karl-may-riesling-2024-bio\"\u003eRiesling aus dem gleichen Haus\u003c\/a\u003e. Als Mitbringsel eignet sich der Muskateller für Gastgeber, die Weißwein schätzen, diese Rebsorte aber noch nie im Glas hatten. Und wie unterschiedlich zwei Jahre derselben Rebe ausfallen können, zeigt der direkte Vergleich mit dem \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/karl-may-muskateller-2024\"\u003eVorgängerjahrgang 2024\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeine Stunde schlägt dort, wo ein Abend beginnt: als Auftakt eines Menüs oder als erstes Glas nach Feierabend.

Stellen Sie sich einen gewöhnlichen Dienstagabend vor: In der Pfanne brät ein Fischfilet, auf dem Brett liegt eine halbe Zitrone. Der Wein dazu muss kein Ereignis sein — aber frisch, sauber und ehrlich gemacht. Genau diese Rolle füllt dieser Riesling mit einer Selbstverständlichkeit aus, die im Regal seltener ist, als man denkt. Er begleitet das Essen, statt es zu übertönen, und bleibt dabei jederzeit erkennbar Riesling. Handlese, Spontangärung und Ausbau im Edelstahl geben ihm mehr Sorgfalt mit, als sein Etikett vermuten lässt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrüner Apfel voran, Kräuterwürze im Nachhall\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn der Nase grüner Apfel, Limette und ein Hauch weißer Pfirsich, am Gaumen Saft, Spannung und feine Kräuterwürze. Im Glas leuchtet der Wein hell strohgelb mit grünen Reflexen. Das Etikett sagt Riesling trocken, und die Analyse hält Wort: 3,9 Gramm Restzucker bleiben deutlich unter dem, was als Süße wahrnehmbar wäre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSein Rückgrat sind 7,5 Gramm Säure — spürbar straffer als beim Vorgängerjahrgang. Spitz wirkt das nicht, weil reifes Lesegut und ein langes Hefelager die Säure einbinden. Das Mundgefühl erinnert eher an den Biss in einen kühlschrankkalten Apfel als an Zitronensaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMit etwas Luft gewinnt der Wein an Breite: Der grüne Apfel reift im Glas Richtung gelber Frucht, die Kräuternote tritt deutlicher hervor. Trinken Sie ihn deshalb nicht zu hastig — der zweite Schluck nach zehn Minuten erzählt mehr als der erste. Ein Dekanter ist trotzdem unnötig, ein bauchiges Glas genügt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWer weichen Schmelz erwartet, etwa von einem Grauburgunder, wird diesen geradlinigen Riesling als karg empfinden. Auch Barrique-Aromen suchen Sie vergebens: Der Wein sieht ausschließlich Edelstahl.

Braten Sie etwa ein Zanderfilet auf der Hautseite knusprig und ziehen Sie zum Schluss kalte Butter durch den Bratensatz. Die Säure des Weins nimmt die Butter auf und hält den Teller leicht.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFür einen schnellen Abend: Tagliatelle mit Sahne, Erbsen und Zitronenabrieb, darüber gebratene Garnelen — der Riesling schneidet durch die Sahne und hebt die Zitrusnote. Ebenso passend sind Flammkuchen mit Lauch und Ziegenfrischkäse, ein Schnitzel mit lauwarmem Kartoffelsalat oder ein mildes Gemüse-Curry. Selbst kräftige Vinaigrette bringt ihn nicht aus dem Takt, woran viele weichere Weißweine scheitern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSolo funktioniert er ebenfalls: Als Aperitif weckt seine Frische den Appetit, ohne mit Alkoholwucht in den Abend zu starten. Eine Schale gesalzene Mandeln oder ein paar grüne Oliven dazu genügen völlig. Ob zum Ofengemüse im Winter oder zur Grillforelle im Sommer — die Küche darf wechseln, der Wein bleibt passend. Beim Käse gilt: junger Ziegenkäse und milder Bergkäse ja, reifer Rotschmierkäse nein. Und ein Dessert sollten Sie ihm nicht zumuten: Gegen Süßspeisen wirkt ein knochentrockener Riesling schnell sauer und verliert seine Balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGut zu wissen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Servieren Sie ihn bei 8 bis 10 Grad aus einem schlanken Weißweinglas; zu kalt eingeschenkt verschließt sich die Frucht.

Heute führen Peter und Fritz May das Weingut in siebter Generation. Rund 35 Hektar zwischen Osthofen, Bechtheim und Westhofen stehen seit 2007 unter biologischer Bewirtschaftung — lange bevor Bio im Weinberg zum guten Ton gehörte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie Trauben für diesen Gutswein wachsen in der Lage Heiligkreuz bei Bechtheim: sandiger Löß-Lehm, nach Süd-Südost geneigt. Löß speichert Wasser und Wärme, die Trauben reifen gleichmäßig — solche Böden bringen fruchtbetonte, zugängliche Weine hervor. Entblätterte Traubenzonen, eine Grünlese im Frühsommer und selektive Handlese in mehreren Durchgängen sichern gesundes, reifes Lesegut. Diesen Aufwand gönnt man Weinen der Einstiegskategorie selten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIm Keller vergärt der Most spontan — allein mit den Hefen, die Weinberg und Keller von selbst mitbringen, ohne zugesetzte Reinzuchthefe. Spontangärung dauert länger und verlangt Aufmerksamkeit, belohnt aber mit eigenständigerer Aromatik. Anschließend ruht der Jungwein über Monate auf der Feinhefe im Edelstahltank, was ihm Textur und Stabilität gibt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDas Weingut gehört zu Maxime Herkunft Rheinhessen, einem Winzerzusammenschluss, der Weine nach dem Dreiklang aus Gutswein, Ortswein und Lagenwein ordnet. Der Gutswein bildet die Basis dieser Herkunftspyramide: Er soll den Stil des Hauses zeigen, nicht eine einzelne Parzelle. Das Prinzip ist dem burgundischen Modell entlehnt — je enger die Herkunft gefasst ist, desto höher der Anspruch. Für Sie als Kunde heißt das: Der Name des Weinguts bürgt hier für den Inhalt, nicht der Name eines Weinbergs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarum die Basis eines Weinguts am meisten verrät\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn seinem Gutswein lässt sich ein Weingut ehrlicher messen als an seiner Spitze. Große Lagen verzeihen vieles, die Basis verzeiht nichts. Der Vinum-Weinführer führt Karl May mit dreieinhalb Sternen und lobt dabei ausdrücklich die Qualität der Gutsweine. Genau diese Verlässlichkeit macht die Flasche zur Visitenkarte des Hauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWer der Pyramide nach oben folgen möchte, findet eine Stufe darüber den \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/karl-may-riesling-osthofen-2022-bio\"\u003eOrtswein mit Kalkstein-Prägung\u003c\/a\u003e und an der Spitze den \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/karl-may-morstein-riesling-2021-bio\"\u003eLagen-Riesling aus dem Westhofener Morstein\u003c\/a\u003e. Der 2025er ist der richtige Einstieg in diese Reihe. Er taugt als Mitbringsel zu einer Einladung, als Vorrat für spontane Gäste oder als Auftakt einer eigenen Probe. Auch für größere Runden ist er eine dankbare Wahl, weil er weder Weinkenner langweilt noch Einsteiger überfordert. Nur eines sollten Sie ihm nicht abverlangen: jahrelange Reife.

Ortswein aus alten Reben, spontan im Holzfass vergoren.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrauburgunder Osthofen 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e ist der trockene Ortswein des Weinguts Karl May aus Rheinhessen — in Holzfässern spontan vergoren, sechs Monate auf der Feinhefe gereift. Kein leichter Terrassenwein, kein lauter Aromenwein, kein vanillegeprägtes Barrique-Experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrauburgunder Osthofen 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e ist ein trockener Ortswein des Weinguts Karl May, gewachsen in den ältesten Grauburgunderbergen rund um Osthofen im Wonnegau. Das Wort Ortswein ist dabei mehr als ein Etikett. Die deutsche Herkunftspyramide kennt drei Stufen: Gutswein für den Alltag, Lagenwein von der Einzellage, dazwischen der Ortswein. Er soll den Charakter eines einzigen Dorfes ins Glas bringen. Für Osthofen heißt das: Löß und Kalkmergel im Boden, Wärme aus dem südlichen Rheinhessen, alte Reben mit tiefen Wurzeln. Genau das finden Sie in diesem Glas wieder — reife Birne und Haselnuss aus der Sonne, darunter ein salziger Zug aus dem Kalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSo schmeckt der Grauburgunder Osthofen im Jahrgang 2025\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Grauburgunder Osthofen 2025 verbindet cremigen Schmelz mit 6,4 Gramm Säure pro Liter — füllig im Ansatz, geradlinig im Abgang. Im Glas leuchtet er strohgelb mit goldenen Reflexen, dicht und satt in der Farbe. In der Nase liegen reife Birne und Quitte, dahinter geröstete Haselnuss und ein Hauch von frischem Hefezopf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDass die Rebsorte so viel Schmelz mitbringt, liegt in ihrer Natur. Grauburgunder ist eine Farbmutation des Spätburgunders, mit graurötlicher Beere und von Haus aus mildem Säureprofil. Ältere Generationen kannten ihn hierzulande als Ruländer, meist üppig und süßlich ausgebaut. Der 2025er zeigt das Gegenmodell dazu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAm Gaumen baut sich zuerst die typische Fülle auf, weich und cremig vom langen Hefelager. Dann übernimmt die Säure, strafft den Wein und führt ihn in ein salziges, trockenes Finale. Mit 1,3 Gramm Restzucker bleibt nichts Süßes stehen. Geben Sie ihm ein paar Minuten Luft — dann treten Würze und Nuss deutlicher hervor, während die Frucht in die zweite Reihe rückt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDas Holz arbeitet dabei im Hintergrund. Es liefert Textur und Halt, keine Vanille- und keine Röstaromen — wer einen opulent getoasteten Barrique-Stil erwartet, sucht ihn hier vergeblich. Auch Liebhaber leichter, spritziger Weißweine mit lauter exotischer Frucht sind bei diesem kraftvollen Charakter falsch beraten. Der 2025er ist ein Wein für den gedeckten Tisch, nicht für den Sundowner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEin Begleiter für Braten, Fisch mit Kruste und Bergkäse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKörper und Säure machen diesen Ortswein zum Begleiter für Gerichte, an denen leichtere Weißweine scheitern. Probieren Sie ihn zu Schweinefilet mit Rahmchampignons, zu Kalbsbraten mit heller Sauce oder zu gebratenem Kabeljau unter einer Mandelkruste. Ofengemüse mit Röstnoten — Kürbis, Pastinake, Süßkartoffel — greift seine nussige Seite auf. Ein zwölf Monate gereifter Bergkäse findet in der salzigen Mineralität einen ebenbürtigen Partner. Zurückhaltung empfiehlt sich dagegen bei zarten Gerichten: Feines Sushi oder gedämpfte Forelle deckt dieser kräftige Weißwein eher zu, als sie zu begleiten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEine schnelle Idee für den Abend: Braten Sie Maultaschen in brauner Butter mit Salbei knusprig an und hobeln Sie alten Bergkäse darüber. Die Butternoten des Gerichts und der Schmelz des Weins greifen ineinander wie Zahnräder. Servieren Sie ihn dazu bei elf Grad aus einem bauchigen Weißweinglas, damit die Fülle Raum bekommt. Deutlich kälter sollte er nicht sein: Unter neun Grad verstummen die Nussaromen, und übrig bleibt nur die Säure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWer die Rebsorte schlanker und unkomplizierter mag, greift zum \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/karl-may-grauburgunder-2024-bio\"\u003eGrauburgunder aus der Gutswein-Linie\u003c\/a\u003e.

Am zweiten Tag wirkt der Wein oft offener, weil die Hefenoten Luft bekommen haben. Als Solo-Aperitif vor dem Essen ist er dagegen weniger geeignet — dafür trägt er schlicht zu viel Gewicht.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSieben Generationen, alte Reben und ein Keller voller Geduld\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeit 1815 bewirtschaftet die Familie May Weinberge rund um Osthofen — inzwischen in siebter Generation. Heute führen die Brüder Peter und Fritz May das Haus gemeinsam. Ihre Überzeugung ist einfach formuliert: Gesunde, lebendige Böden bringen die besseren Trauben hervor. Rund 35 Hektar gehören dazu, seit 2007 ökologisch bewirtschaftet, verteilt auf einige der wärmsten Ecken Rheinhessens. Der Wonnegau trägt seinen Namen übrigens erst seit dem 19. Jahrhundert — zuvor hieß die Gegend nüchtern Wormsgau, nach der Stadt Worms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFür diesen Ortswein reserviert das Weingut seine ältesten Grauburgunderberge. Die bis zu 40 Jahre alten Reben wurzeln tief im Löß und erreichen Wasser, das jungen Anlagen in trockenen Sommern fehlt. Der Kalkmergel darunter hält die Säure stabil — deshalb wirkt der Wein trotz aller Fülle nie breit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIm Keller verzichten die Mays auf Reinzuchthefen. Der Most vergärt spontan in Holzfässern, allein mit den Hefen, die aus Weinberg und Keller mitkommen. Spontangärung dauert länger und verlangt Aufmerksamkeit, belohnt aber mit Tiefe und eigenständigem Charakter. Danach ruht der Wein sechs Monate auf der Feinhefe — Winzer nennen das sur lie. Die Hefe gibt dabei langsam Stoffe ab, die dem Wein seine cremige Textur schenken. Das Holzfass wiederum atmet: Winzige Mengen Sauerstoff wandern durch die Poren und machen den Wein runder, als es der luftdichte Edelstahltank erlaubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarum ein Ortswein oft die klügere Wahl ist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDieser Wein besetzt die Mitte der Herkunftspyramide — und diese Mitte ist häufig die beste Adresse für den Alltagstisch mit Anspruch. Das Weingut folgt dabei der Maxime Herkunft Rheinhessen, einer Winzervereinigung, die die dreistufige Klassifikation nach burgundischem Vorbild in der Region verankert hat. Je enger die Herkunft, desto höher der Anspruch — so lautet die einfache Regel dahinter. Er bietet spürbar mehr Tiefe als ein Gutswein, verlangt aber nicht die Andacht eines großen Lagenweins. Für die Jahrzehnte im Keller ist er allerdings nicht gemacht: Sein Fenster liegt in den kommenden zwei bis drei Jahren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Jahrgang 2025 fällt straffer aus als seine Vorgänger. Wie viel Spielraum in dieser Herkunft steckt, zeigt der Vergleich mit dem \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/karl-may-grauburgunder-osthofen-2023-bio\"\u003edeutlich milderen Jahrgang 2023\u003c\/a\u003e — gleiche Berge, gleicher Keller, anderes Jahr. Als Geschenk passt der 2025er zu Menschen, die sonst Rotwein trinken und einem Weißwein Substanz abverlangen. Ob winterliches Schmorgericht oder Gemüse vom Sommergrill: Er braucht Essen am Tisch, um alles zu zeigen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStellen Sie ihn neben den Braten statt neben die Häppchen — dann zeigt dieser Ortswein aus Osthofen, was alte Reben und Geduld im Holzfass vermögen.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Karl May","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":57047342711110,"sku":"008MAY2035","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6× 750 ml","offer_id":57047342743878,"sku":"008MAY2035_6","price":86.72,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/karl-may-grauburgunder-osthofen-2025.png?v=1785504314"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/collections\/weingut-karl-may-logo_dff2842f-e79d-407d-b69c-d93400511a40.png?v=1775845178","url":"https:\/\/ginussland.com\/en\/collections\/weingut-karl-may.oembed","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
