A blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer that grow together on the Jurassic limestone soils of the Grasberg site near Bergheim. This vineyard sits at an altitude of 280m and is located at the top of the hillock which bears the Grand Cru ALTENBERG on its south-facing slope. The resulting wine is always complex, very persistent, marked by its minerality and has plenty of tension.

About the wine

Tasting notes

Exotic, fat and luminous semi-dry wine that explodes with candied citrus, winter orange and fresh mint leaves. The palate is entirely built on the acidic energy of perfectly ripe citrus fruits. The length of the softer finish demonstrates the rare vibrancy of this wine. Initially tight and tense, but will unlock itself and all of its complexities in time.
