Description
Winemaker Stefan took over the winery when he was just 17 years old due to the sudden passing of his father in 1998. Not hoped for and not easy, it took a heroic level of determination to assume the mantle at such an important estate. His success and expansion of it in subsequent years has been remarkable. Today, his wines are considered a benchmark for the area, lauded by collectors and required reading in every major vintage report.
This wine is the calling card of the estate. Hand-harvested from sites in Brauneberg, Kesten, Mülheim, and Veldenz. Vinified dry and aged in fuder (large oak), it is a monster value in the liter size.
