The grapes come from the Gritschenberg site near Jois, whose limestone-rich subsoil is described as extremely calcareous. After selective hand-picking, the wine ferments spontaneously with indigenous vineyard yeasts in wooden fermenters; maceration and fermentation also take place there. It then matures for 28 months on the lees in used 500-litre oak casks. In the glass it shows cool red and purple berries, cranberry, woodland herbs and pronounced minerality. Fresh acidity, a firm medium body and fine-grained tannins combine with sustained, elegant power. The vintage was rated at 13 % vol.
