Production Details 2015 Fass 37, an exclusive Vinaturel/VDP grower edition from the extremely steep, south-facing grey-slate parcel historically called “Unterm Birnbaum.” It was spontaneously fermented and raised in a 1,000-liter Fuder, then released after 36 months of combined maturation in wood and bottle; the source does not divide that period into exact cask- and bottle-aging durations.
Certifications DE-ÖKO-039
Tasting Notes Christoph Raffelt, tasted 2019-03-18: pale straw; nectarine, pear compote, citrus, red berries and spicy crushed-slate aromas; ripe pear and apple, saline character, precise acidity, light tannin and a crystalline, elegant finish.
Food Pairing Grilled octopus salad with kombu and bamboo shoots; grilled corn with miso butter and roasted onions; white asparagus with hop shoots, mushroom herb and seasoned melted pork back fat.
