Darmstadt wine merchant Vinocentral, together with Sekthaus Griesel & Compagnie (Bergstrasse), Weingut Schloss Schönberg and Behindertenhilfe Bergstrasse, is launching two special editions with artist labels. Two pictures by the Bensheim artist Jürgen Klaban, who is supported by Behindertenhilfe Bergstrasse, were selected for this. He is one of the few disabled artists in Germany who practise their work full-time. The campaign was initiated by Vinocentral, whose operators want to "set an example for more appreciation and diversity in society".
The Riesling Flor Extra Brut is the first sparkling wine from Griesel & Compagnie whose base wines were matured under flor yeast - similar to Manzanliia Sherry and Vin Jaune. The Silvaner Weißer Granit from Schloss Schönberg is made from quartz-rich volcanic rock In Focus, which gives the wine a distinctive flavour.
Vinocentral has regularly employed two young men with disabilities in its specialist wine shop and vinotheque for several years. In 2020, the company received the Hessian State Prize for the exemplary employment and integration of severely disabled people. The paintings on the labels were selected together with Jürgen Klaban and purchased by Vinocentral.
