Wine Description
The terraces lie just to the east of Ried Klaus. This site is relatively unknown because many vintners cultivate small parcels and, until now, no site wines were produced. Great primary rock soils with minimal growth potential yield reductive, minerally and powerful Rieslings with long-term storage life.
Vine planting: from 1979.
No machine use possible; pure handwork.
