Tasting notes:
In the glass this is a very rich and fruity Riesling. Good balanced with fine acidity and creaminess. Yellow fruit aromas dominate this wonderful dinner companion.
About the wine:
The women of Deidesheim used to use this warmest of vineyards sites to bleach their linen cloths. Its 100% south facing and sloped location mean that air temperatures of 50°C and more are not a rarity. Grapes that flourish here incorporate this heat, have mature fruit aromas and sophisticated, balanced acidity.
After harvest, the must undergoes carefull fermentation and maturation on full lees for 12 months in 100 % Doppelstück barrels (2.400l) without fining and other technical measures.
