Vineyard: The fruit for this dry wine comes from our sustainably farmed Burgberg vineyard on breathtakingly steep slopes high above the Mosel River. These south west-facing slopes are covered in blue and brown slate with quartz deposits near the roots. This wine comes primarily from ungrafted, old vines, up to 75 years old. Riesling vines have been cultivated on this spot since the 17th Century.
Harvest Dates: late October
Production Notes: The fruit for this wine is deep, rich and intense, produced primarily from the best and oldest vines in this vineyard, along with newer plantings. It is carefully hand picked later in the season to allow for ideal ripeness. All fruit is painstakingly hand sorted to allow only the best grapes to be crushed for this grand cru. The juice is fermented by natural occurring yeast only- no added cultures- slowly at cold temperatures until the perfect balance of acidity and fruit is reached. The wine was aged on natural yeasts for 10 months, then aged in 100% German oak barrels.
