Interesting facts
| Wasenhaus Kanzel Spätburgunder is sourced from a historic parcel on the Ehrenstetter Ölberg vineyard, previously farmed by Dr. Henrik Möbitz, known for its limestone soils and eastern exposure, producing a cooler microclimate. The winery founders have Burgundy experience and focus on natural, low-intervention winemaking. |
