100% Chardonnay from a vineyard dating to 1593. The vines grow at mid-slope in a cool, west-facing site where a thin layer of silt covers active limestone. (Note: Simone considers this a grand cru site, but it's currently classed as a 1er Cru because there are no grand cru Chardonnays in the Rheinhessen). Spontan fermentation, aged on the lees for 1yr in barrique. The wine is pure stones in the nose, fruit wrapped up in steel threads, and a laser-focused character throughout. PRACITICING BIODYNAMIC.
