Gruenspiel

A field blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot’s from the Gruenspiel vineyard, a natural amphitheatre in Bergheim facing south. Soils are dark with a mix of sandstone deposits, granite, and gneiss on a marl bedrock. Slow whole cluster pressing, some skin maceration, natural yeast fermentation, matured in old foudre for 12 months.

Le jeu des verts – “green game” references a checkerboard, due to the diverse soils of the terroir.

Tasting Note: Aromas of apricot, peach, and orchard fruit with hints of stone mineral, white flower, and citrus zest on the nose. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity on the palate, rounded texture, superb balance, finessed, great depth in fruit, mineral on a long finish.
