Cuvée of 65 % Pinot Blanc and 35 % Pinot Noir grapes from the 2017 vintage, disgorged in February 2020. Straw yellow. Very fine perlage. Elegant scent of raspberry, apricot, sage and a hint of vanilla. On the tongue it seems extraordinarily filigree and with a little air increasingly multilayered. Delicate spice of green herbs and honey. Long and persistent.

From the single vineyard Dürkheimer Steinberg, disgorged in December 2019. Pale straw yellow with light grey. Fine perlage. Varietal nose with scents of peach and citrus, alongside a hint of brioche. Focused and gripping, pure Riesling with good acidity and fine sparkling wine character. Very good length.

Disgorged in February 2020, bright lemon yellow. Fine, quickly rising perlage. On the nose with aromas of yeast and roasted almond. Shows clear traces of malolactic fermentation. In the mouth delicately creamy, with vegetal aromas, a slightly lactic component, melon, pumpkin and pumpkin juice and some grapefruit on the finish. Very good length. Undoubtedly polarising in its style, clearly develops to its advantage after a few hours of air.

100 % Pinot Noir, from the single vineyard Wachenheimer Mandelgarten, disgorged in June 2020. Light salmon pink. Very fine perlage. Fine yeasty Pinot scent with hints of strawberry, very close to a rosé wine. Refreshing, precise and clear on the palate, glides easily over the tongue. In the finish a little sweet jam, but at the same time also spicy grapefruit aromas. Very long.
