Stierkopf is the south-facing vineyard where these Pinot Noir grapes grow, giving the wine a true sense of place and lively energy from its limestone‑grès soils.

From 30-year-old vines on grés soils in the Stierkopf vineyard near Mutzig. The wine is concentrated, with bright, lively acidity, balanced structure, and a sense of lift. It rewards both patience in the glass and a bit of air to show its full depth.
