Production Details The producer describes extended fermentation with the skins followed by pressing and maturation in small wooden barrels. Grapes are sourced from Buschenberg and Loibenberg with a small part from Hochrain; these vineyards are worked by hand without tractors. No exact ageing duration is proposed because the page's six-year-ageing sentence is internally inconsistent with its separate 2015 late-bottling note.

The sheet reports 96 hours of cold maceration at 10°C without stems, followed by complete destemming with 5% stems, spontaneous fermentation in vat for 10 days and manual punch-down three times daily. Its table separately reports four weeks of skin contact and 10 days of mash fermentation, while its narrative says almost three weeks of total maceration; no exact canonical maceration duration is proposed. The wine matured for 15 months in used 300 L cigar-shaped oak barrels; the press fraction was blended back. There was no temperature control, acidification or deacidification.

Production Details Late-release specification: hand-picked into 15 kg containers from terraced vineyards at 250–300 m, with vines aged 9–44 years. The table reports complete destemming with 5% stems, four weeks of skin contact, 27 days of mash fermentation, spontaneous fermentation in vat for 10 days and manual punch-down three times daily for five days; its narrative instead says almost three weeks of total maceration, so no exact canonical maceration duration is proposed. The wine matured for 72 months in used 300 L small cigar-shaped oak barrels without bâtonnage; the press fraction was blended back.
