Vineyard: The fruit for this wine comes from our sustainably farmed Schlossberg vineyard covered in blue and grey slate and brown quartz. The Schlossberg is known for the extreme pitch of the slopes high above the Mosel. This wine comes from predominately ungrafted, old vines, up to 80 years old. Grapes vines have been cultivated on this spot since the 17th Century.
Harvest Dates: late October
Production Notes: The fruit for this wine is deep, rich and intense, produced only from the best and oldest vines in this vineyard. It is carefully hand picked later in the season to allow for ideal ripeness. All fruit is painstakingly hand sorted to allow only the best grapes to be crushed for the grand cru. The juice is fermented by naturally occurring yeast only- no added cultures- slowly at cold temperatures until the perfect balance of acidity and fruit is reached. The wine was aged on natural yeasts for 10 months, then aged in 100% German oak barrels. This wine was bottled mid- July.
