The product of a type of viticulture that is nothing short of heroic, this incredible Gewürztraminer is the result of a late harvest, from slopes so steep they challenge human tenacity. This hard work pays off thanks to the unique conditions of the Rechtenthal Schlossleiten vineyard; temperatures here are almost reversed, thanks to the night air that passes through a large gorge in Mount Roen. This gives the grapes a strong acidity, creating the right conditions for a sweet wine, but with marked freshness, characterised by menthol and yellow citrus scents, wildflowers and faint memories of mountain herbs. The palate is rich, tense and elegant, while the aromatic whispers are even more accentuated by ageing on the lees for at least eight months, with periodic bâtonnage. This is truly heroic viticulture and the results speak for themselves.
