70% Auxerois and 30% Pinot Blanc, sourced from the Herrenweg Vineyard in the village of Turckheim and the Rotenberg vineyard in the village of Wintzenheim. The average age of the vines is 36 years old and planted on Oligocene Calcareous and gravely soils. All natural fermentation, grapes were picked at ripeness level that would allow a dry finished wine. The alc% is 12.8 and it is an indice level 1.
