How it is produced
The Spätlese classification guides the entire production, based on harvesting Riesling bunches at an advanced stage of ripeness.

In the winery, vinification aims to preserve varietal purity, seeking the perfect balance between natural saline tension and residual sugar. The result is a dynamic and satisfying white wine, endowed with solid ageing potential. To best appreciate its organoleptic finesse and persistence, it should be served at an optimal temperature of 10–12 °C.
