Background
Jean-Luc et Anne Mader took over the estate in 1981 and being convinced that the best wine originates in the vineyard and the terroir that they are in, they converted to fully organic practices. No chemicals are used, only natural products.
Tasting notes
The old vines (20 to 50 years) ensure intense floral and citrus aromas, with mineral backing and wonderful acid backbone. Fine dry Riesling with texture and depth.
Winemaking
Hand harvested grapes, pressed whole in a pneumatic press. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks starts at low temperatures, and sometimes lasts until March. This is followed by ageing on fine or total lees until the first filtration, which generally takes place in April.
Food pairings
Seafood, poultry, pork, oriental dishes.
