Vineyard

The wine owes its name to the sandstone sculpture of Saint Nicholas that overlooks the vineyard. The gently sloping plot, located just 50 metres from the Rhine, has a southern orientation. The nearby large body of water of the Rhine acts as a heat accumulator, ensuring a long and even ripening cycle. The 60-year-old vines yield only a very limited return.

Winemaking

The organically grown grapes are hand-picked and undergo a strict selection process. The bunches are pressed whole. Fermentation is initiated by indigenous yeasts. The 18-month aging on lees takes place in large wooden barrels. It contains 3.0 grams of residual sugar per liter.
