| Vineyard | The Lump is considered the best place in the world for Silvaner, where wine has been grown for thousands of years, with slopes up to 75% steep. Completely southern exposure. |
| Harvest | 6 September 2022, with grapes selected by hand at the moment of perfect physiological ripeness. |
| Vinification | After harvesting, the grapes are delicately treated and subjected to 24 hours of contact with the skins, followed by a 45-day fermentation in large wooden barrels, with subsequent aging for 7 months on the yeasts. |
| Wood education | Fermentation and aging in large 2400 liter wooden barrels. |
| Taste impression | A perfect example of Silvaner. The scent features melon, ripe apricots and peaches. Very precise fruity aromas on the palate, playful minerality and a concentrated and long finish. An impressive wine that always appears big but never heavy. |
