Single-Vineyard, Organic
2021
Rich yellow in the glass with beautiful streaks, the wine comes across quite cool on the nose, elegant use of wood from high-quality barrels. Very fresh and juicy on the palate. A medium-bodied wine with very good length.

The whole grapes were gently pressed and the must flowed freely into the predominantly used oak barrels of French origin for fermentation. Fermentation and malolactic fermentation took place naturally and usually lasted until the following spring. After one year on the lees, the wine was racked and bottled unfiltered.
The season started with a very dry spring, that was only interrupted by a cool and wet May. Throughout the summer we experienced some hail on the single vineyards Steinberg and Kittmannsberg, however, we were fortunately spared from bigger damages. Ripeness really accelerated on the back of a sunny and relatively warm late summer. The vintage shows wines with good acidity, yet good ripeness, and therefore we expect a high longevity.
