“Defying fear and ignoring those that called you crazy

Grown on the slopes of the Middle Nahe on volcanic weathered soil and loess clay

It is expressive yet delicate with aromas of passionfruit and melon preceding a crisp clean tropical fruit inspired palate that lingers long after the wine is gone

invariably finding balance and even finesse where most Chardonnays would be overpowered

respect for nature and for biodiversity in the vineyard – not because it is fashionable but because we firmly believe in it – is combined with patient maturation of the vintages in the winery

The second nose is more toasted with leather and tobacco notes. On the palate, the tannins are rounded and delicate. Licorice emerge, mingling with prune and caramel. Long on the palate.
