The grapes come from several vineyard sites around Bockenheim, on limestone, clay and loess soils, at around 300 metres above sea level with a south-western exposure. After hand-picking, some of the grapes were destemmed and left on the skins for three weeks, while others were left as whole bunches for three to five days. Fermentation took place with natural yeasts in old oak casks. The wine then matured on its lees for at least two years and underwent around six to seven months of bottle fermentation. It shows orange zest, citrus fruit and white flowers, firm acidity, fine tannins and a dry, slightly salty structure.
