Riesling Grand Cru Praelatenberg 2017

Hill cultivated in vines since the beginning of the 9th century by the Benedictines, hence its name “hill of the prelates”, even if the origins are perhaps older, as evidenced by the presence of Roman landmarks.
Gneissic soil, a baked granite rich in ferruginous elements (quartz, mica and feldspar, our plot is the most southern, where the slopes are in places the steepest.

Harvested on September 2017, fermented in indigenous yeast for 5 weeks and aged on fine lees, this cuvée is characterized by its freshness, its energy with marked salinity which offers very good aging potential.
