Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes (maximum yield of 40 hectolitres per hectare). Gentle pressing followed by slow wild-yeast fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Subsequent maturation on the lees until just before bottling, to add complexity and body.
Firm, mineral, stone-inflected nose dominated by crushed chalk and fine pip fruit. Driving, juicy and structured on the palate, with lovely purity and saline minerality. Wonderfully long on a bright, cool finish.
This sheltered, south-east-facing site is one of the best-known terroirs in the Pfalz. The fruit came from old vines that sit on a ridge of limestone bedrock underlying a topsoil of fine limestone mixed with a thin layer of loess.
