Slow fermentation on its own yeasts in large oak casks and stainless steel gives the wine its aromatic complexity. After fermentation, extended maturation on the lees before bottling in late August.

Folks can expect the unexpected!
Vinification: Perfect, fully ripened grapes from Ried Pellingen are selected by hand from mid-October to early November. Old vines and minimal yields. A portion of the grapes is destemmed and left on the skins for 10–12 hours of maceration. The leisurely fermentation in 500-litre acacia barrels with ambient yeasts gives the wine its special style & character. Batonage (yeast stirring) is employed in a focussed manner to develop the wine’s full potential. It can take up to 18–24 months before the wine – according to our taste – is ready for bottling). Minimal movement, gravity feed & lots of time! Limited!
