Manual harvest followed by gentle pressing. Wild-yeast fermentation, with the wine subsequently spending time in a 1,000- or 500-litre cask. No chemical additions. Each separate bottling is made from a single cask.
This Saar Riesling has a pleasantly fresh nose of quince, ripe apple, peach and apricot, with herbal characters reminiscent of sage. The palate is dry with firm, juicy acidity and a racy, medium finish complemented by mineral notes.
The Weber family farms 13 hectares in a tributary valley of the Saar called 'Konzer Tälchen', which means 'the little valley of Konz'. Most of the vineyards have a southerly aspect and iron-rich, grey-slate soils.
