From a single plot where Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Sylvaner and Chardonnay were planted together — "muscheligen kalk" translates to "shelly lime."

Soil: Compact limestone formed by fossilized mussel shells

Elevation: 180 to 200 meters

Exposure: Varying south-facing

Vinification: Grapes are harvested by hand and bunches are left to macerate on their skins for up to 40 hours before press. Whole bunches are then basket-pressed and the run-off juice ferments on the ambient yeasts in fuder.

Maturation: One year with a light filtration before bottling.

Wine arrives the second week of August 2024.
