The vines grow on the cool, windy slopes of Schapenberg near the Atlantic, on weathered granite with a stony structure. The hand-picked, destemmed grapes are transferred by gravity flow into wooden fermenters; fermentation begins spontaneously with natural yeasts. Around 30 days of skin contact follow, then malolactic maturation in barrique and 21 months of ageing in French oak, approximately 9 percent of it new. The wine shows red berries, a hint of cumin, precise acidity, fine-grained tannins and a long finish.
