Description

A very classy and pure dry German Riesling. Elegant limes and fresh, golden apples. The pithy acidity making you salivate endlessly, delightfully long in finish.

Situated in the Pfalz region near Stuttgart, they are a second generation family producer farming on varied soil including the unique ‘muschelkalk’ – a calcareous soil with substantial deposits of fossilised mussel shells. They are fully organic, and soon to be certified Biodynamic – for those who don’t know this a very minimal intervention way of farming pioneered by Rudolph Steiner. It includes looking at the lunar cycles to decide harvest dates and other pseudo science including burying cow horns full of ash at the end of the vines. Long story short, if you are that crazy about your grapes you are going to be more astute about noticing things like disease on the vines, and you will produce a better quality and purity of fruit.
