Grand Crus – Great Locations:Sundial, Lay & Cathedral Provost

Blessed by perfect sunshine and cultivated with particular care by the numerous helpers in the vineyard on steep to the steepest slopes. These vineyards are among the best in Germany and are characterized by exceptional quality and a perfect microclimate. Only wines from these classified sites bear the almost 100-year-old traditional label. The wines grown there mature slowly and for a long time to achieve their optimal quality. Harvested by hand with a reduced yield and carefully destemmed, these wines are fermented with the vineyard's own yeast in stainless steel tanks and then rest on the fine lees in old oak barrels (fuder) for a further few months before being bottled in the summer. Only in this way do they develop their special richness of aromas, spice, power, elegance and enormous potential for ageing.
