This wine comes from the side sections of the Bremmer Calmont and also some parcels across the Mosel near the monastery ruin, Abtei Kloster Stuben. It was fermented and aged in steel for 5 months. It's a snappy, crunchy, dry riesling, that is most pellucidly Mosel.

The area of Burg Cochem on the Lower Mosel is often referred to today as the Mosel Terraces (Terrassenmosel), as this is often the only possible way to grow vines on the radically steep slopes. The steepest vineyard in Europe, the Bremmer Calmont is here.
