Deep nose with stacks of spice plus flinty and leesy complexity. The ripe stone fruit character emerges more and more with each swirl of the glass. A generous mouthful of extremely harmonious dry riesling. A touch of fine tannin deftly supports the finish. A good two-thirds fermented in stainless steel, the remainder in large neutral oak. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Depending on the vintage, this outstanding Estate Riesling is made from 30-50 % declassified or young vine P.C. and G.C. material. And typically that fruit will be from Wachenheim (~60 %) Ruppertsberg (~ 37 %) and Forst (~ 3 % from Jesuitengarten G.C.). Year-in, year-out, it’s the perfect introduction to dry Pfalz Riesling.
