The grapes come from old Sauvignon Blanc vines in the upper Steinthal, on calcareous sandstone and loess soils. The physiologically ripe berries are fermented intercellularly, or briefly on the skins in amphorae, and then gently pressed. The wine is matured for around 16 months on the full lees without intervention, then bottled unfiltered. It displays intense minerality, depth and elegant tension, with notes of melon, lemon zest, nectarine and slight herbal nuances; the acidity is precise, the body dense and the finish mineral. The minimally invasive vinification and extended lees ageing are characteristic of the Numen series.
