2023 Platter's Wine Guide - 5 Stars

The grapes originated from a single vineyard site called Optenhorst, which literally means 'on the ridge'. Bush vines planted in 1952.

in the cellar : Whole-bunch pressed, settled overnight and the clear juice drawn off in the morning. Spontaneous fermentation occurred in both a concrete tank and older French oak barrels. The wine matured in these vessels for 12 months to build mouthfeel whilst retaining freshness.
