56-year-old vines, compact gypsum keuper and clay, the lowest yields: the ultimate fruits of stone. Like woolly mammoths, the vines draw minerals from the compacted soil. Pointed fruit sweetness, profound minerality, and present roasted notes flow seamlessly into one another. An immensely dense, long-lived expression with notes of black cherry, plum, chocolate, tobacco, dried herbs, and a gentle peppery spice. Full of juice and power, yet velvety and stony — blessed with the inner calm of ancient vines.
