area planted with white varieties (predominantly Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot
Blanc) and the rest with red varieties (Pinot Noir in the main).The terroir is
made up of seven different soil types: slate, red sandstone, granite,
limestone, loam, sand and 'muschelkalk' - a calcareous soil with substantial
deposits of fossilised mussel shells. Gregor works to preserve the health and
mineral content of the soils - they use only organic fertilisers, and in 2011
they began the biodynamic cultivation of some sites. In the winery
fermentations are cool, slow and small batch; grapes are only ever partially
de-stemmed; and wines are bottled without fining and with only the gentlest
filtration.
