Origin

This steep 11 hectare (27 acres) west-southwest-facing site is characterized by finely-weathered slate. Our optimally-situated plots feature ancient vines. Wines from the Bernkasteler Lay are finesseful, with firm, elegant structure and very minerally, with ripe acidity and abundant interplay of flavors.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested in October, gently crushed, and given several hours of skin contact to extract aroma and minerals. The must fermented slowly and naturally at low temperatures so that the complex fruit aroma could develop perfectly. Subsequently, the wine was carefully matured on its lees in wooden barrels for a long time.
