Facing south/south-east, WEILBERG Grand Cru is situated around an ancient, 2000 year old Roman winery.
Clayey, red Terra Rossa soil, very rich in iron (red earth).
Vineyard work:
Buckwheat, radish and clover aerate the soil and attract useful animals. Horse dung fertilizes the soil naturally. We take off leaves selectivly and work with low yields.
Vinification:
Hand harvested and whole-cluster pressed. Wild yeast fermented and aged on the lees in stainless steel and big wooden casks.
Character:
Expressive and complex with a long finish.
