Origin

This steep 26 hectare (64 acres) site faces southeast to east along the Saar. It features considerable reddish fine earth along with an unusual combination of greywacke (a sandstone); soft, thinly-plated Devonian slate; and diabase (a coarse-grained variation on basalt) Saarburger Rausch Rieslings captivate with their vivid and fine slate notes - higher predicates show fruit-driven nuances in addition. These wines are elegant and delicate, always complemented by a tender acidity structure.

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.
