This vineyard is at the center of the Molitor property and stretches up the steep slopes to the left and right of their winery. It is located in a side valley directly opposite to Zeltingen, and faces almost due south. Light to medium-heavy stony soils of decomposed slate with a high proportion of iron produce mineral-driven and long- lived wines with delicate, elegant fruit.

The grapes were softly crushed and macerated for several hours on the skins. After maceration the juice was fermented using only natural yeasts. The wine rests on the lees in stainless steel tanks following fermentation producing a balanced and aromatic wine.

very clear and elegant on the pure and vegetal as well as stony and still flinty/sulfuric nose that displays bright and healthy fruit aromas. Intensely juicy and with lush apricot aromas, this is a pure, piquant and elegant Sp?tlese with definition and precision and a tightly structured, still young finish that will improve with bottle age.
