Viticulture
The steep sloges (Steillage) in the Mosel valley are at the optimum angle to catch the sun all day, while the mirror-effect of the Mosel River and the slate (Schiefer) soils also give heat to the vines to ensure that the grapes achieve ripeness in this cool climate region.
Vinification
The grapes are pressed gently and the juice cold fermented with selected yeasts at 16-18°C in stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation. No oak.
Maturation
Held in stainless steel which is 'neutral' and allows the wine to retain its structure and flavour.
Food Pairing
Serve with Asian cuisine such as light and spicy fish or creamy chicken dishes.
