Tasting Notes
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. The intense fruit is accompanied by fine residual sweetness. However, this is kept in check by a vital acid pulse.
Method
This wine is made using organic and biodynamic viticulture practices and wine production. It is made in an off dry style with no oak influence. The wine 10.5% ABV, 18.5 g/l of residual sugar and 8 g/l acidity which results in a lively and balanced Riesling. A great representation of a balanced riesling, uncomplicated enough to enjoy anytime, impressive enough for a well prepared meal.
