STORY · REGION · TERROIR
The Manuscript of the Bottle
— Terroir —
Steep blue-slate slopes above the Mosel river — vines clinging like old letters.
— Climate —
Cool, marginal — long autumns coax sweetness without losing acidity.
— Winemaking —
Hand-picked late-harvest fruit, slow fermentation in old wooden fuder.
— Lore —
The Sonnenuhr — a sundial carved into the hillside in 1842 — still marks the hour for the harvesters below.
