This German wine can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, with an exceptionally youthful presentation. The grapes for this white wine from Germany are harvested, at the time of optimal ripeness, exclusively by hand. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures.
