Production Details The exact wine was recorded at 98 °Oechsle, a grape-must ripeness measurement. The importer’s producer-wide 2001 context reports an estate yield of 45 hl/ha, no chaptalization, slow fermentation with estate-propagated cultures from Dönnhoff wines rather than commercial yeast, cask maturation until bottling for no more than six months with transfer to stainless steel if necessary, and possible lees contact of up to one month for healthy high-acid wines. Only the 98 °Oechsle measurement is explicitly specific to this wine.
Tasting Notes Forward and pretty, with cherries and slate; contemporaneous critics also described honeyed and smoky mineral notes, botrytis, coconut, vanilla, grapefruit, lemon candy and licorice, with bright acidity, silky texture, breadth, focus, concentration and a long finish.
