The wine comes from the steep, slate-and-quartz-driven Krettnacher Euchariusberg vineyard, specifically parcels in the Gross Schock sector, planted with old, partially ungrafted vines. It is a site defined by razor-sharp acidity, smoky slate minerality and intense aromatic lift. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"908\"\u003e“Kugel Peter” is not a separate vineyard but an internal cask (Fuder) designation, meaning this wine is a snapshot of a specific barrel selection within the vintage rather than a blended estate cuvée.
