Viticulture >
The grapes for this Riesling come from the Grand Cru vineyard of Saering. To the north of Guebwiller, Saering covers 27 hectares of which Schlumberger own 20. It faces east and southeast at an altitude of 260 to 300. The soils are marl/limestone and sandstone. On the slopes the vineyards are arranged into terraces and are worked by horses, lessening compaction and thus the potential for erosion. The vineyard work is done biodynamically.
Winemaking >
First mentioned in 1250, the Saering plot escapes from the hill and extends like
a peninsula on the plain, forming a sort of tongue of land in the form of a ring.
It has been sold under its own since 1830.
The grapes are hand-picked and whole bunches are pressed. There is static settling of the lees. The wine is fermented in temperature controlled tuns, followed by raising on the less for 8 months.
