Likely to be 8.5% but not yet analysed. Made from two strips of 60-year-old vines, a little higher up the slope than the centenarian ungrafted vines which go into the Alte Reben Kabinett. Harvested 21 September and 5 October. Yields were down from 38 hl/ha in 2018 to 26–27 hl/ha in 2019. The vines had to fight for their survival because of lack of water reserves but the rain in July saved them from excess stress. Picked at c 84 Oechsle. RS c 38 g/l. Cask sample.
