Winemaker's Notes:

This southern facing Grand Cru vineyard has poor, sandy and rocky soil which drains well and is perfect for the production of expressive, concentrated Riesling. Yields are typically low and the grapes achieve high levels of ripeness. It has complex aromas of minerals, white flowers and crisp, tart apples. The same flavors carry through to the palate where they are enhanced by a lush, rich texture and a penetrating, racy acidity. This wine ages exceedingly well and is usually released several years after the vintage to allow the fragrance and complexity of ripe fruit to develop and the acids to move into the background. This is a quintessential food wine and matches up well with a wide range of rich fish and shellfish, poultry, veal, pork and Asian-spiced dishes.
