The grapes come from the south-facing Maximin Herrenberg vineyard site in Longuich, whose red slate shapes the wine. Planted in 1896, the ungrafted vines are farmed by hand using traditional single-post training. As in the past, the harvested grapes are carried in a Hotte, crushed and, after pressing, transferred without sedimentation into an old Fuder. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The dry vintage shows yellow fruit, slate spice, high acidity, moderate 12 percent alcohol and a long, mineral finish.
