A blend of half Riesling and half Pinot Gris from biodynamically-grown vines planted in 1982 on parcels classified as Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, with granite and clay soils. Manual harvesting and low yields. Natural vinification: direct pressing, transfer into barrels for fermentation and aging in barrels of several wines for 12 months, on total lees. Bottled at the estate on the 29th of September 2024 without fining nor filtration, just a micro-dose of sulphur (added during pressing).
