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 french oak barrels. No filtering.

Complex, elegant nose of black fruit, clove, raspberry and tar. Juicy and delicate on the palate, with fine tannins, a velvety mouthfeel, herbal characters and a hint of salinity on the finish.

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.
