The Goldberg vineyards are located on southern slopes with a unique, very warm microclimate. The vines are over 85 years old. The grapes are harvested manually at the end of October, pressed with the whole bunch, after which natural fermentation takes place very slowly in stainless steel tanks. Geyerhof always chooses to release the wines later, partly because their natural fermentation often proceeds slowly and the wines therefore do not present themselves so well the year after the harvest.
