Description
Sparkling clean, bouquet including notes of yellow stone fruit and lemon, ‘grapy’-zesty Riesling, with a delicate first hint of ripe nectarine and vineyard peach, though fresh, dry and juicy, on the palate. As already verified on the nose, good fruit concentration, underlined with hints of citrus and a peppery spiciness! Bright elegance; straight body, balanced with a touch of fruity sweetness before the long almost salty finish. A single vineyard Riesling which shows, charming, well drinkable character in its youth as well as aging potential for many years!

Vinification
As far as Riesling is concerned, an important part of the flavor is stored in the grape skins and is set free only by extremely slow and soft (whole cluster) pressing or prolonged skin contact for a very carefully chosen time span. Fermentation is done in stainless steel and maturation is completed there on 5 to 10% of the lees.
