The Vineyard and Terroir
- Location: The grapes grow in the Altenbourg vineyard. It sits on a steep, south-facing slope right below the famous Furstentum Grand Cru.
- Soil: The ground is made of brown limestone, marl, and sandstone. This unique mix gives the wine a special touch of minerality.
- Vines: The wine comes from two specific plots. One was planted 20 years ago, and the other was planted 60 years ago using premium vine cuttings from Burgundy.
