Bright yellow color with green reflections. Aromas of ripe pear, almond and soft spiciness. Very sensual character that is well-balanced with the vibrant fresh acids. The finish is long and lush but remains elegant and refreshing.

climate

Continental climate with cold winters and hot dry summers.

soil

Cyriakusberg: The famous "Muschelkalkboden" typical of Franken, a limestone subsoil consisting of shells and coral.

vinification

Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. The juice ferments in 225-liter 6-year-old oak barrels for about 6 weeks without temperature control. The skins remain with the juice for about 10 days. The wine rests for about 9 more months in the same barrels, with very occasional battonage performed. The wine is not racked and is bottled unfined and unfiltered with zero addition of sulfur.
