Production Details Riesling grows on difficult-to-access, dry-stone-walled terraces in the steep upper part of Brandstatt, with gradients up to 75%. The vineyards are worked entirely by hand and are cultivated sustainably and increasingly organically. Grapes are hand-picked in several passes under strict selection criteria, gently pressed and fermented under temperature control. The finished wine matures on fine lees in stainless-steel tanks and large wooden casks. The producer’s general 2024 vintage account describes an exceptionally early harvest on 3 September; it does not establish that all Brandstatt grapes were picked that day.
