From the erste lage Schützenhaus, which is the equivalent of a premier cru. The south-southwest sloping vineyard is around 150 meters in altitude, and fortunately protected (in German, "schützen") from cold easterly winds.

White peach, stones, pear butter, light honey, yellow apple ride a generously juicy palate, one tightly hemmed and seasoned with fine spicing to create a reserved whole.
