Terroir

VINE AGE: 35 years.

LOCATION: lieu-dit Steinweg, which means "stony path".

EXPOSURE: eastern south. 230 meters high.

GEOLOGY: the vines are planted on colluvial piedmont soil dating from the PLEISTOCENE (Quaternary), with a highly variable mineralogical composition: pebbles, fine sands, and clays. Derived from granite and sandstone, these fine siliceous and marly colluviums produce Rieslings that are expressive and open in their youth.

Viticulture & Winemaking

HARVEST: manual.

YIELD: N/A.

SORTING: in the vineyard and at the winery.

WINEMAKING: gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in large oak casks (foudres). Indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation completed.

AGING: 11 months in large oak casks (foudres).

BOTTLING: after filtration through diatomaceous earth and pads.

CORK: natural cork.

Sommelier's Note

"The Rieslings from Domaine de l'Envol won me over with their precision and elegance. The Steinweg cuvée, in particular, reveals a remarkable mineral profile. Its nose, of crystalline purity, subtly intertwines notes of white flowers and lemon with slight petrol touches. A true gem!"
