Short-pruned 40-50 year old vines from the “Wolfreben” lieu-dit in the Kaysersberg valley
between the Clos des Capucins and the village of Kaysersberg. The soil is sand-silt on granite pebbles. The
grapes growing on this terroir ripen early and produce wines with powerful concentration. Aged in large, old oak
vats for 8–10 months. RS 11.6 g/l, TA 3.6 g/l, pH 3.7.
Seductive, pungent, rich nose suggestive of both cream and lychees. Luscious mid
palate but finishes dry. Surprisingly appetising and contained – and characteristically varietal.
Satin-smooth on the palate and, I would imagine, very versatile at the table.
