Apricot blossom, white peach, green apple and grapefruit zest with pronounced slate/mineral character; playful, gently sweet Kabinett profile balanced by lively, racy acidity and a saline-citrus finish.

Hand-harvested fruit from steep slate terraces; cool, temperature-controlled fermentation in large old oak fuder using indigenous yeasts; fermented to Kabinett sweetness (~40–45 g/L RS).
