Vineyard Site
The grapes were harvested by hand and brought unharmed to the press house in stackable boxes, crushed and pressed at low pressure. Without the use of pumps, the must flows from the press house into the 700-year-old natural cellar and was slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks. This mainly enhances the delicate aromas and flavor

Vintage description
Jahrgang 2018
★★★★☆
2018 begann alles etwas früher – vom Austrieb und der Blüte bis zur Ernte. Das war sicherlich dem heißen Wetter geschuldet – der Winter ließ einfach auf sich warten und zeigte sich erst im März. Allerdings nur von kurzer Dauer: Ende April wurde es bereits sommerlich mit 30°C. Dadurch hatten wir einen überdurchschnittlich frühen Austrieb.
