Description: This 13th-century estate farms 26-30yr old vines on deep limestone soils with no herbicides, pesticides or synthetic chemicals. The family’s 11 hectare vineyards are surrounded by orange and almond trees in the surprisingly warm, temperate climate of the Pfalz. Hand harvested grapes spend 9 months in large old oak barrels. Bottled without filtration. Light ruby color with aromas of potpourri, candied cranberries, and musk. The palate is light-bodied, a touch austere, with high acidity. The wine has a "natural wine" feel due to a little prickle on the palate which will blow off after aeration. the wine finishes with cranberry, umami-musk, and red floral.
Food pairing: Bacon, beets, cheese (mild or soft), chicken (braised, roasted, grilled), duck, eggplant, fame, ginger, pork loin, salmon (broiled, baked, poached), sausages, hams, etc.
