Production Details The Ayler Kupp parcel has a southwest exposure and a 50% gradient. Whole clusters were pressed, followed by wild-yeast spontaneous fermentation and two months on the lees. The finished-wine analysis is labelled by the producer as 6.2 g/L Fruchtsäure (fruit acidity); that wording is retained rather than treating it as an unqualified canonical total-acidity measurement.
Tasting Notes Crystalline; fine herbal notes; juicy ripe fruit; aromatic, vibrant and finely balanced without heaviness.
