The Gewurztraminer grapes were macerated in two parts. One part was macerated for 5 weeks and the second part was macerated for 3 weeks.
 
The grapes were sourced from the Grand Cru Steinert vineyard which is why this is such a serious wine which shows how applying maceration techniques to a grape variety such as Gewurztraminer can produce a wine of appealing colour, depth and intensity of flavour and incredible length.
