A central shaft of lemony purity lasts and lasts. This goes to show that exquisite, storied vineyards, like the Pechstein, deliver also in extreme years. The vineyard got its name from the veins of black basalt that pervade it - and the basalt that local peasants brought there from a nearby volcano.
