From very old un-grafted vines in the Onnerts and Herzlay sectors (situated just above and next to the Prälat) and fermented with ambient yeasts and aged in oak for 12 months. Erdener Treppchen is perennially the more reserved of the trio of GG’s we present each year, demanding patience and attention. Whilst Sonnenuhr is habitually super charming, and Würzgarten is expressive and upright, Treppchen tends to be more earnest, taking time to reveal its stripes. This 2023 follows that narrative but when splashed into a big glass and given some air, its elusive nature is also it’s calling card. A wine for the ages and sure to go down in the annals of time as a classic.
