New. Biodynamic. The Altenbourg vineyard lies east of Schlossberg, just below the Grand Cru Furstentum. The soils are composed of limestone and rich clays and as such, it’s considered an optimal site for Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat. There are, however, several plots of Riesling. In the past, these vines tended to favour sweeter styles. However, the onset of warmer and drier vintages has seen this vineyard pivot to dry Rieslings with great success. This 2022 is just the second vintage, and the style tends to be more floral and chalkier than the domaine’s Schlossberg Rieslings.
