Special characteristic

Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes (maximum yield of 40 hectolitres per hectare). Gentle pressing followed by slow wild-yeast fermentation for several weeks in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Subsequent maturation on the lees until just before bottling, to add complexity and body.

Compact and slightly reductive on the nose, with yellow and white fruit as well as notes of limestone. The palate has a fresh entry, good body and lots of depth. This exceptional Riesling is both soft and juicy.

Sourced from vines that were planted over 35 years ago on limestone-rich soils interspersed with gravel and iron oxide.
