The grapes come from the Oestrich vineyard sites Doosberg, Klosterberg and Lenchen. The deep soils consist of calcareous loess with terrace sediments, Alzey Formation sea sand, grey quartzite and clay marl. After selective hand-harvesting and gentle whole-bunch pressing, the juice ferments spontaneously with natural yeasts. The wine is aged for ten months on the full lees until the end of August, in large oak casks and stainless-steel tanks. The dry wine combines taut acidity with crystalline, stony minerality and a lean to medium body; analytically, it has 3,6 g/l residual sugar and 7,7 g/l acidity.
