"Its terroir of grey slate gives it its name "Tonschiefer", and gives it an explosive minerality!"
"The subtle bouquet of Tonschiefer 2022 is fruity, mineral with notes of flint and yellow fruit. The wine is slightly salty at first, but has fullness and tension. It has plenty of tone on the palate and a structure that literally pushes it to the finish. The finish is salty, juicy and quite long. (Yves Beck 2023)

About the wine:
Delicate, fresh aromas of green apple, apricot and tangerine. Vibrant acidity holds ripe fruit in one hand and wet crushed stone in the other. The texture is fine and already very appealing. 2023-2028

About the wine:
What a lovely nose of summer flowers and persimmon. Juicy and generous on the attack and mid-palate for this cool-climate site thanks to a very hot, dry summer. The tannic touch underlines the long, slatey finish. Very lively acidity for this vintage. Made from Fair'n Green-certified organic grapes. For drinking or storing. Screw cap.
