About this wine
Wine Style:
White - A great expression of German Riesling, with vibrant fruits, some spiciness, and a crisp, acidic finish.
Tasting Notes:
Bright golden yellow. Aromas of ripe apricots, juicy peaches and delicious citrus. On the palate a fine minerality, fresh and direct fruitiness with crisp and refreshing acidity.
Gastronomy:
Perfect as an aperitif or paired with cheese, crudités, snacks and light Summer meals.
Vineyards:
The vines grow on a subsoil made of loess stone, claystone, red sandstone and various types of limestone.
Winemaking process:
After the harvest, the selected grapes are subjected to a 24-hour, cool maceration and then clarified by means of natural sedimentation. The fermentation takes place in the temperature-controlled stainless steel tank.
Interesting notes:
“…surprisingly powerful, bone dry and balanced. Plenty of taut fruit floods the palate, stone fruits muddled with wild herbs. The grapes for this are grown on a mixture of gravel and sandstone…" - (courtesy of Justerini & Brooks).
Vinoteka's note
A straight, firm, puristic Riesling from the pioneers of fully dry wine in the southern Pfalz, biodynamic and made with no chaptalisation, no fining and no sweet reserve, as Eduard Rebholz insisted in the 1950s. Citrus, apricot and apple with electric acidity and minerality. The producer pairs it with Indian food, prawns and duck; it will improve for years in the cellar.
“Completely dry and driven by electric acidity.”Vince Simmon, Wine Review Online · 94 / 100 · 2023
