This wine is traditionally produced from the younger vines on the alluvial gravelly soils of the Herrenweg in Turckheim. Younger vines at an average of 52 years old ! because the older vines are actually much older ! These vineyards ripen early and quickly, especially in vintages which do not suffer from summer droughts, as in 2021. Being able to obtain early a good physiological ripeness allows to pick early hoping for the wine to achieve a slightly drier style compared to the past. These vineyards produced beautiful grapes, but a lot were lost through frost and mildew in early spring. The wine fermented quickly and finished in a dry style. The high acidity of the wine allows us to still present it as dry wine under the local legislation, and it does taste dry !
