Tasting Notes
The aromatic nose is bursting with expressive stone fruit, candied lemon, white lilies and hints of fresh herbs. There is a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity on the palate. This wine is delicate, elegant and persistent on the finish.
Vineyards
The Enkircher Steffensberg vineyard was rated highest in the Napoleonic-Prussian vineyard classification of 1886. The Gran Cru site is situated on a south facing slope with optimal sun exposure and copper red and gray slate soils that give the wine its powerful structure. The vines are trellised and sustainably farmed without the use of herbicides.
Winemaking
After being hand-harvested, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel using spontaneous fermentation with a longer maceration.

A harmony of petrol, pear, peanut brittle, and honey sing on the nose and palate. A fervent chant of apricot and apple reverberates in stages of creamy and dry minerality. Grapes are grown off of 30-year-old vines on the steep slopes of Enkircher Steffensberg. Tasting Panel
