The most precious crop of the vintage from the single vineyard was handled separately. Following destemming and selecting the grapes by an optical sorting machine, the pressed juice was settled and then slowly cold-fermented in stainless steel tanks and finally kept on the fine lees for a long time. The wine was bottled in May 2026.

Description

A wine of uncommon purity, this flagship Riesling selection is introduced by the citrus aromas that are very characteristic of the variety, embodied in Mediterranean notes of tangerine and ripe orange rather than the greenish tones that the variety often produces in northern growing locations. Crystalline and pristine, the wine relies on a broad rather than sharp acid foundation – a token for serious cellaring potential and the endurance of minty fruit flavours. The solid acid backbone attains a superb balance with a hint of residual sugar.
