Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Maceration (skin contact) for 72 hours followed by gentle pressing and then fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel. The wine was left to rest for a short time before being bottled.

Medium lemon. Complex on the nose, with delicate mirabelle and floral aromas. Linear, spicy and assertive on the palate, with good tension and an elegant finish.

Sourced from Escherndorfer Lump – a very steep south-facing vineyard with a 60-degree incline and deep soils consisting of shell limestone.
