Chardonnay grapes were harvested in September 2014 from southeastern, calcareous soils (i.e.Spiegel) and cooler western slopes (Steinberg) lending both warmth and freshness to the wine. The acidity and maturity of the grapes were at the exact point of readiness when they were picked and placed in small crates and then pressed very gently in the cellar.

Maturation
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel. In the following spring, the base wine was filled into bottles; in these, the second fermentation took place with the help of sugar and yeast. The sparkling wine stayed in contact with the yeast for 110 months before undergoing remuage (riddling) and, finally, dégorgement (disgorging) in our cellars.
