Organic and biodynamic cultivation

Nose is very Alsace, ripe orchard fruit, subtle floral and herbal notes, little yeast.

Palate has a soft round texture with a nice mellow freshness. You get some baked apple, little caramel. little pear with a slightly earthy, stony character, but all very soft.

The finish is long and dry, with citrus, ripe orchard fruit and a gentle bitter-mineral edge.

The schist-rich mountain terroirs really comes through.

It has much more weight and concentration than a simple, fresh Sylvaner, while retaining the grape's characteristic freshness

A Sylvaner you can age for a bit

The grapes are pick slightly overripe and fermented with wild yeast
