The grapes from the three vineyards Schildten, Föllig and Schneiderteil are processed separately. Rigorous grape selection at the beginning, fermentation in wooden fermentation vats and 12 months of ageing in barriques. The best barrel from each vineyard is then ‘tasted out’. These are then used to create the cuvée. Schildten provides the basic structure and forms the mineral core. Föllig contributes intense fruit and elegance, while Schneiderteil provides plenty of complexity and body. The cuvée is then harmonised in large barrels for 6 months so that the three base wines can grow together. After bottling, the wine is aged in the bottle for two years to harmonise it further.
