Vineyard Site
The south- and southwest-facing terraced slopes of the Heiligenstein vineyard are defined by a unique geological formation that has been preserved for millions of years. The bedrock consists of weathered desert sandstone and volcanic inclusions from the Permian period, found in this form only here. These distinctive soils are barren and well-drained, encouraging deep rooting and giving the wines their unmistakable spiciness, minerality, and longevity.
Cellar
Traditionelle Flaschengärung
The grapes are gently pressed, followed by fermentation and maturation in used 2,000-liter acacia barrels. After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine rests on the lees for at least 48 months – a maturation period that imparts refined creaminess and an elegant mousse.

Wine Description
Bright yellow-green with silver reflections and a fine, creamy mousse, showing floral notes, white tropical fruit, vineyard peach, and a hint of lime on the nose. On the palate, juicy and precise with white stone fruit, well-integrated acidity, refined grip, and persistent length.
Food Pairing
An excellent match for pan-seared Arctic char with lemon butter and fennel or scallops served on cauliflower purée. Also pairs beautifully with a delicate pumpkin cream soup or enjoyed as an elegant aperitif.
