The grapes come from four parcels in Mittelbergheim, including sites on the marl-limestone Grand Cru Zotzenberg as well as on limestone-rich clay soils. The old vines undergo spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation and eight months of ageing on the lees in older foudres. The dry white wine shows yellow fruit, pear, quince and vegetal notes. On the palate it is saline, lively and mineral. Before bottling, it is lightly filtered through cellulose.
