I grew familiar with a great many extraordinarily interesting wineries and distillers, even when I was still very young. It helped enormously that my parents and grandparents always maintained a well-kept cellar. However, when invited by friends I noticed that there were often large gaps in the selections of classic drinks. Hence the idea of putting together a well-balanced varied collection of interesting drinks, that meet the standards of a royal cellar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luitpold Prinz von Bayern, who is the target group of the Royal Wine Selection?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Royal Wine Selection is about people who cherish traditions, people for whom maximum enjoyment is an integral part of their lifestyle. Our selection speaks to wine connoisseurs and epicures who appreciate a good wine and, above all, something truly special. People who see themselves as connoisseurs and love the classically timeless; people who celebrate pleasure and enjoy luxury and those special moments in life.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Heebo|100|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-1px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luitpold Prinz von Bayern, what does tradition mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Without the experience of the past, there is no reasonable future.

This exquisite, classically dry Franconian Silvaner brings together grapes from the best lots of the F\u00fcrstlich Castell\u2019sches Dom\u00e4nenamt, making it perfect for the very first barrel of the Royal Wine Selection. Grown on gypsum marl soils, it embodies minerality, spice and velvet and is a true delight \u2013 and more than a brilliant food companion. The year 2018 was exceptional, with a wet winter and a very hot summer with very little rainfall, which led to an early grape harvest. The wine was then aged in a large wooden barrel and kept on the lees for a lengthy period of time.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.royal-wine-selection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/FFCC_02.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; filter_opacity=&#8221;60%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Heebo|100|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-1px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ferdinand F\u00fcrst zu Castell-Castell<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#fbfbf9&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;21px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row module_id=&#8221;dialog&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;4px||19px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Heebo|100|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#323e48&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;50px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;31px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;31px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A DIALOGUE BETWEEN HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINZ LUITPOLD VON BAYERN AND FERDINAND F\u00dcRST ZU CASTELL-CASTELL<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;4px||7px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#e5e5e5&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; min_height=&#8221;697px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||45px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.royal-wine-selection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SKH_PL_02.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; filter_opacity=&#8221;60%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Heebo|100|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-1px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">His Royal Highness Prinz Luitpold von Bayern<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Heebo|100|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-1px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Luitpold Prinz von Bayern, how did the idea for the Royal Wine Selection come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Throughout my life I have always enjoyed good food and good drinks.

It helped enormously that my parents and grandparents always maintained a well-kept cellar. However, when invited by friends I noticed that there were often large gaps in the selections of classic drinks. Hence the idea of putting together a well-balanced varied collection of interesting drinks, that meet the standards of a royal cellar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luitpold Prinz von Bayern, who is the target group of the Royal Wine Selection?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Royal Wine Selection is about people who cherish traditions, people for whom maximum enjoyment is an integral part of their lifestyle.
