This terroir in the middle age was one of the finest and most renown in Alsace with the Brand and the Rangen. It’s also important to note the altitude of this vineyard 300 to 390 m and it’s steep exposure. Work of the soil by ploughing to encourage deep roots for a better terroir expression. The vines that make this wine are in average 61 years old. Hand-picked, whole bunch pressing “a l’Alsacienne” with a pneumatic press, fermentation with natural yeast. Ageing on lees for 11 months. Drink now or in the next 10-12 years after vintage.
