The vineyard is organically farmed with mechanical soil cultivation and ploughing; grapes are hand harvested and sorted in the vineyard.

Tasting Notes Weibel Weine describes a rich straw-yellow wine with a full, rounded nose of white blossoms and fresh fruit; concentrated and precise on the palate, with ethereal elegance, harmonious floral-fruit balance, depth, complexity and a persistent finish.
