Our single-site FELSENBERG is situated within the nature preserve of the “Berntal” valley and surrounded by a natural wall of limestone. Sitting on Tertiary limestone bedrock, on a slightly steep slope, the entire vineyard faces south. In 2011 we resurrected this old, almost forgotten site and planted Burgundy Pinot Noir clones there.
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:
Harvest by hand, second sorting and destemming in the winery. In warm years we add some whole clusters. After a short maceration the crushed must ferments in wooden “cuves”, with wild yeasts. Aged in new and reused French barriques. No fining, no filtration.
Character:
Silky, elegant, almost “feminine” Pinot style.
