Meticulous selection of hand-picked grapes. Destemming followed by fermentation on the skins in separate batches for two to three weeks in open-top oak fermenters and vats, then gentle pressing. Subsequent maturation for 18 months in small oak barrels. No filtering.

Mittleres Rubinrot, florale Nase mit roten Früchten und herrlicher Frische. Kompakte Struktur, tolle Eleganz, Reife, viel Zug und ein langer Abgang prägen diesen herrlichen Rotwein.

Sankt Paul is named after the old property (including castle tower) that abuts the vineyard, which used to belong to the monks of Wissembourg. The vines grow on a south-facing slope, where a massive seam of limestone bedrock underlies a thin topsoil consisting of loam and clay.
