Just outside the village of Beblenheim, the Sonnenglanz vineyard faces southeast, at an altitude of 220 to 270 metres.The quality of the soil and its marvellous exposure give the wines an attractive gold colour of great intensity. on the nose, they have a fine, concentrated aroma of ripe fruit. they are generous on the palate, well balanced, with a long finish. This vintage 2011 is sweet.
