From Le Gallais estate's Braune Kupp vineyard—rusty iron-rich brown slate overlooking the Saar—this 2023 Spätlese receives identical care to Scharzhofberger through hand-harvest, native yeast Fuder cask aging and lees contact. The challenging vintage yields opulent ripeness with Braune Kupp's warmer exposition versus cooler sites, delivering lush yet structured Saar finesse.
