Wertheim Pinot Blanc Alte Grafschaft 2022

Vineyard: The Kaffelstein is one of our steep slope vineyards with about 60% altitude. It was first mentioned over 700 years ago. Earlier names such as "Römerberg" testify to a much longer history that connects the vineyard to the time of the Roman Empire. Today it is one of the sunniest vineyards in Franconia.

Vintage:The 2017 vintage was challenging in terms of viticulture, characterized by increased fungal pressure and an extremely wet vegetation year. Despite these adversities, the wines of this vintage are characterized by a remarkable elegance. Through careful selection during production, they developed a fine aroma that slowly begins to open after more than 4 years in the bottle. 

Expansion: classic bottle fermentation, 48 months yeast storage, 100% stainless steel, Brut Nature
