in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from bush vines growing on the cool slopes of the Perdeberg. The low yield ensured very concentrated flavours in the berries. The vines are grown on westerly slopes on medium deep shale, granite and sandstone soils. Occasional irrigation was practiced.
about the harvest: The grapes were carefully harvested by hand at the end of February at 23° Balling.
