This Spätburgunder is a Cuvée of Pinot Noir grapes from the vineyards of Malterdinger Bienenberg and Kenzinger Hummelberg. The vines are on average 20 years old and the yield is very low, 37 hl/ha. The bunches are gently destemmed, after which they are soaked with peels and already for 4 weeks in open French wooden tubs. This is where alcoholic fermentation takes place. After this first fermentation, the free-run juices and the juices obtained by soft pressing are aged separately in French oak barrels. The wines undergo their malolactic fermentation in the barrels. No fining takes place, the wines become clear through natural sedimentation. After assembling, the wine is bottled unfiltered.
