Rätzelhaft means ‘to riddle’ and originally the idea here was to use long lees contact, a specific blending of vineyards, and age in bottle to remove the imprint of the grape variety, posing a riddle for the taster. The blend is from the steep slopes of these hallowed vineyards: Günterslay, which gives an herbal character, Goltröpfchen, which gives the power of a south-facing site.

Falkenberg which gives a yellow fruitiness, and Freudenberg, imparting lightness and freshness.
