White dry
The wine is made from a single Ried Schüttenberg vineyard, growing at an altitude of 278 metres above sea level. Ried Schüttenberg is the highest point in the Arbesthaler Hügelland (Arbesthal hill country), and its west-facing section, surrounded by forests, creates ideal conditions for white wine. Here there is more limestone in the upper soil layer, and morning and evening temperatures are cooler than in the rest of the vineyard. Although Chardonnay ripens until late autumn in this 1.2-hectare vineyard, it does not produce "fat" wines.
The wine's minerality and tightly woven texture lend it a distinctive elegance. With its long ageing potential, the wine will reveal layers of flavours and aromas over the years.
Spontaneous fermentation of the hand-picked grape juice took place in French oak barrels and concrete tanks at 20–25°C, and after malolactic conversion the wine was aged for 12 months in oak barrels on the lees.
Residual sugar: 1.2 g/l.
Acidity: 6.3 g/l.
Serve at 10–12 °C with fish dishes, crustaceans or pasta with white truffles.
