Great wines express a sense of place and they are best able to do this when they are rooted in a biologically diverse environment where soil vitality is intact and vines live in symbiosis with the complex ecosystem in which they live. To lend nature and its manifold aspects a voice through our wines is our ultimate aspiration. The ways and means to this objective are marked by many actions and fundamental decisions that set the course and reflect our ethical and qualitative philosophies. Our decision to convert to biodynamic viticulture in 2006 was based on the goal of making our vineyards successively more resilient, more vital, and more heterogeneous.
Description
"Deep cherry red – more black than red cherry in the aroma. Intense, peppery and spicy, black as well as dark-red fruit, lots of pepper, and crushed stones. Tight, dry, real finesse on the palate. Lovely purity of black fruit with very little fruit sweetness. The tannins are super-fine, dry and elegant, almost chalky. There’s restraint here but fully ripe fruit without the power of excess alcohol. Great length. Lovely, balanced refined Blaufränkisch. Not cheap but worth the price. (JH)" Jancis Robinson
