Tasting Notes
Muschelkalk, meaning limestone, shows a great variety of flavors and is a clear example of the region. This wine is fruity, plump, juicy, powerful and expressive. Stone-fruit, citrus and floral hints aromas merge with enormous freshness on the palate. Mineral complexity derives from the limestone terroir.
Method
Organic and biodynamic viticulture and wine production. This wine is made in an off dry style with no oak influence. 10,5% ABV, 18,5 g/l of residual sugar and 8 g/l acidity makes for a lively and balanced Riesling.
