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.

Tightly woven nose with red fruit, spice, floral characters and slightly smoky notes. Very assertive on a superbly structured, fresh, minerally palate. A beautiful Pinot Noir offering great potential.

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.
