Vinification: The grapes are picked exclusively by hand at the ideal moment of their ripeness at the end of October. The pressing, the vinification and the wine-maturing takes place in our winery in Saulheim. Prior to pressing, we leave the crushed grapes 24 hours on their skins to extract a maximum of flavour compounds. The musts are fermented spontaneously with natural yeast - 60% in stainless steel tanks(750 to 2000 litres) and 40% in old, up to 50 years old oak barrels with a capacity of 600 to 1200 litres. After a maturation of 6 months on fine lees, the wine is bottled directly in our cellar.
Wine characteristics: Nice brilliant yellow colour with orange tints. It tastes firm and dry and has tremendous power, length and minerality. This wine has a hard-edged, apricot-scented nose that feels as sharp as a serrated knife. Very Good length in the mouth with an intense note of saltymineralic limestone. A very well-structured wine with balance.
