100% Riesling from vines cultivated using sustainable methods, planted on the sublime terroir of the Urzig vineyard, a few minutes from Bernkastel, on steep slopes overlooking the banks of the Mosel. Harvesting is done by hand, with meticulous sorting to select only healthy, perfectly ripe berries.

Bottled at the estate without fining or filtration.
