Wine Description
This interpretation of the variety comes from the cooler Altweingarten site with clay–loess soils, consciously pursuing a different aromatic spectrum. “Liebe” (love) expresses our dedication to viticulture; “Luft” (air) refers to our deliberate play with oxidation. Two to three days of skin contact and ageing in stoneware and small wooden casks create this profile. Without further intervention and unfiltered, it matures for one and a half years and is bottled with minimal sulphur addition.
Herbal spice, mirabelle and pear aromas come together in a distinctive expression of the variety. Acidity and gentle tannins provide freshness and drinkability, while fruit, spice and subtle oxidative notes alternate, offering continuous discovery. A remarkably versatile food companion.
