Selectively picked grapes. Cold maceration ('cold soak') for 24 hours followed by gentle pressing. Subsequent wild-yeast fermentation, partially in temperature-controlled stainless steel and partially in 600-litre casks. Maturation on the gross lees to enhance the wine's character, then bottling in April.

Pale lemon. Complex and appealing on the nose, with pome fruit and delicate herbal notes. Perfectly structured on the palate, with lots of tension and grip, firm slate minerality and a full-bodied finish.

Sourced from two fascinating terroirs: a block of young vines in Nackenheimer Rothenberg and a 35-year-old plot situated in Niersteiner Hipping. The latter parcel is home to red shale soils dating back to the Permian period, some of which are in their original form and some of which are weathered.
