The grapes of FRAGIL matured in the little steep KOLOSS-block, situated to south- west, located between Assmannshausen and Lorch.

theavinification

The vinification is minimized by the use of natural biological processes and physical transformations.

Hand-picked and fermented on skins like usual the Pinot Noir Précoce is then stopped in fermentation by fine brandy in order to leave about 80 g/l natural residual sugar and have it stable at the lowest alcohol possible without any other treatment or filtration.

Natural residual sugar of 80 g/l, alc. 17,0%vol.
