The grapes were picked in two separate passes through the vineyard. After fermentation, the two resultant batches of fruit were transferred into a large oak cask.
Powerful, concentrated and ultra-fine on the nose, with floral characters, herbal notes and citrus fruit. The palate has wonderful phenolic backbone, elegant concentration and a complex mouthfeel.
Kirchenstück is the best-rated vineyard in the Pfalz. In acknowledgement of its exceptional status, the site was awarded the highest ranking during the royal Bavarian land classification of 1828. Kirchenstück benefits from its situation on the gentle slope directly adjacent to the village of Forst. The sandstone buildings and the surrounding knee-high sandstone wall absorb the sun's warmth and radiate it back towards the vines at night.
