Aging: The two were aged together in 3 different used wood containers.
Bottled: End of May 2022
Soil type: The Regent is planted on gipskeuper and the Dornfelder is on sandy soils.
Age of vines: The Regent was planted in 2001, and the Dornfelder is a mystery.
Sulfur: All of our wines had a microdose of sulfur pre-bottling, and analyses came back under 20mg total.
A note about the name: Seinfeld (S5, Ep2) obviously. But if you’re not a Seinfeld fan, Prince also wore exquisite puffy shirts, as well as many pirates.
