- A generous, floral and textured wine with rich and spicy developed tones laced with underlying citrus and peach flavours, long, dry and elegant. It is an elegant and expressive wine delivering notes of passion fruit, grapefruit and pineapple enveloped in a rich, full-bodied and harmonious palate. Candied citrus flavours and a zippy acidity lead to a long, dry finish.
The whole bunches were gently pneumatically pressed without crushing. The must was then static racked, followed by a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, preserving the purity of the fruit. After the fermentation, the wine was matured in old oak casks on its fine lees for several months, adding subtle complexity.
It is an elegant and expressive wine delivering notes of passion fruit, grapefruit and pineapple enveloped in a rich, full-bodied and harmonious palate. Candied citrus flavours and a zippy acidity lead to a long, dry finish.

| Winery | Schoenenbourg means 'the beautiful hill' and is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru classified vineyards in Alsace. Located north of Riquewihr, the vineyard runs along the rather steep south and south-eastern flanks of the hillside at an altitude of 280 to 380 metres above sea level. The Dopff au Moulin Schoenenbourg vineyard covers 8.8 hectares. The vines are grown in water-retaining subsoils of Keuper marl, dolomite and gypsum, which are rich in fertilising agents, overlaid with fine layers of quaternary siliceous gravel, Vosges sandstone and muschelkalk (shell-bearing limestone). Pruned according to the Guyot method with green harvests and meticulous canopy management to ensure good light penetration and airflow. |
