The vines for this wine grow on chalky loess and clay soils on the southeastern terraced slope of the single vineyard Dechant. (that is the german eqqivalent of “Dean” – the vineyard of the priest was of course meant to be something special) In the more elevated sites, the soil is interspersed with decomposing primary rock.

A traditional vinification includes one and a half weeks maceration followed by maturation in 2-3 years old 300l-Austrian oak barrels.

Alcohol: 12,5 %

Food pairing:

a very successful companion to food accompanying all types of grilled meats including game, duck, and goose as well as all sorts of roast or braised meats; prefers fresh cheeses.
