Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Gentle pressing followed by wild-yeast fermentation. Long maturation on the fine lees to maximise texture and complexity.
Cool, dark aromas dominate the nose. Lovely tension-building mouthfeel and exceptional elegance on the palate. A harmonious, engaging, characterful Spätlese.
'Himmelreich' is German for kingdom of heaven – and this vineyard's sunny aspect is distinctly divine. Soils with high clay content lend the wines a strikingly assertive character. Thanks to the prevailing topography, the vines are sheltered from wind and frost. This quick-warming terroir helps the grapes to ripen evenly and fully. Numerous veins of underground moisture provide the vines with an ideal source of water.
