Bottling Date March 2012
Production Details The producer designated the wine dry with sweetness index 1. Selection was strict, with a higher proportion of old vines and a small resulting volume. The estate reports using specific biodynamic preparations and a no-hedging trellising practice to advance physiological ripeness. Total acidity was reported on both bases: 5.6 g/L H2SO4 equivalent and 8.6 g/L tartaric-acid equivalent.
Tasting Notes March 2012: unusually mineral for Herrenweg; vivid, relatively saline acidity; discreet residual sugar and a dry-tasting finish.

Soil Quaternary gravel; the principal riesling sector has relatively deep soil with very fine sand and silt predominating over gravel.
Vineyard Yield 64 hL/ha
Vine Age 29
Bottling Date February 2006
Production Details The producer designated the wine dry with sweetness index 1. Fermentation finished in September 2005 and the wine was racked in October 2005. Lees maturation was used to temper the wine’s acidity, permit lower SO2 use, protect against oxidation and promote complex aromas. Total acidity was reported on both bases: 5.6 g/L H2SO4 equivalent and 8.6 g/L tartaric-acid equivalent.
Tasting Notes January 2006: fruity and open, with more minerality than usual for the site; dry-tasting palate, vibrant acidity and a fine finish.

Tasting Notes June 2004: highly aromatic and exuberant, with unexpected freshness and acidity; October 2004: open, floral, balanced and easy-drinking, with a fine finish.
