By reducing yields, pre-harvesting, hand-picking and whole cluster pressing, we concentrate the aromas of the 35-year-old vineyard in the Siefersheimer Heerkretz into the must before fermenting it spontaneously in barriques (fourth fermentation) and further consolidating it.
The subtle hint of wood now underlines the powerful fruit and the finely integrated acidity, but without coming to the fore. This Riesling is clearly characterized by its high extract and enormous juiciness as well as the finely nuanced aromas from the spontaneous fermentation. A multi-layered aroma of stone fruit as well as subtle citrus and a slight hint of minerality. Very full-bodied on the palate, slightly sweet but above all juicy, spicy and mineral with a great length.
“Intense aroma of peach and mirabelle plum, mandarin peel, accompanied by mineral spice and cinnamon bark. Delicately balanced on the palate, not a loud Riesling, moderate, finely chiseled acidity, elegant background, with the minerality of the site on the finish.”
