The very steep, south-facing vineyard site consists of heavy, water-retentive Keuper marl with sandstone and gypsum inclusions. The vines were planted between 1952 and 1982. Following up to twelve hours of slow whole-bunch pressing, the must ferments with indigenous yeasts and matures for twelve months in large old wooden Fudres. The wine shows bitter orange, ripe apricot, apricot kernel and black tea; on the palate, it is deep, precise, saline and at the same time fine, with taut acidity and a long finish.
