Wine information
The wine comes from the winery's 16 hectares of vineyards. The vineyard is characterised by clay, silt and sand on asteric limestone and lies at an altitude of 80 to 106 metres. 70 % Merlot, 20 % Cabernet Franc and 10 % Cabernet Sauvignon were used for this wine. The vineyard is cultivated biodynamically. Agroforestry and permaculture are also integrated.
