Special characteristic

Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Cold maceration ('cold soak') followed by gentle pressing. Natural sedimentation to clarify the juice, then temperature-controlled fermentation and vinification in stainless steel.

Intense straw-yellow colour with delicate silvery reflections. Born of shell-limestone terroir, this is a unique, ultra-fine Riesling with wonderfully complex yellow fruit aromas of pineapple and peach. Minerality and fine smoked notes round off what is a fascinating nose. Interplay between acidity and sweetness ensures perfect balance on the palate. This is a wine that will beguile with its complexity and depth, right through to delicious finale.

From vines that were planted around 40 years ago in a south-west-facing plot situated above the village of Siebeldingen at an altitude of around 185 metres above sea level. The soil consists of shell limestone and marine sediments.
