Vineyard: Gambacher Kalbenstein
The Gambacher Kalbenstein is an old terraced vineyard site on the banks of the Main river. The vineyard has a primarily southern exposure and the climate is continental. As the river valley is quite wide at this point, aeration is very good and helps with organic farming. The proximity to the low mountain range of the Spessart means warm days whilst it cools down easily at night.
Soil Type
This wine is from the red sandstone part of the Gambacher Kalbenstein.
Vinification
After whole bunch pressing the juice is settled over night. The must is then racked to used barrels (300 and 500 ltr) and fermentation, malo and aging takes place here. After 18 months aging, the wine is racked, a small amount of sulphur is added (20ppm) and the wine is bottled.
Maturation
Bottling and release in March 2022.
