2023 Riesling Buntsandstein

Pfalz
Riesling
White wine

Hand-picked, short macerations with slower, extended pressing times. Fermentation takes place in 1200L & 2400L neutral barrels and is spontaneous, using only native yeast. Some whole berries remain in the fermenting must to enhance the structure & texture, resulting in a wine full of character with excellent aging potential. Following fermentation, the wines remain on their lees for one full year, allowing for a natural self-clarification process to take place which also contributes to the complex nature of our wines.Bright golden yellow with green reflections. In the nose zesters of clementine, green apple and sage. A youthful wine with lively and well buffered rich, juicy, animating acidity. Dense and powerful on the palate, with fruitiness reminiscent of apricot, fine minerality, with grip! Long finish with creamy, yet silky structure. A candidate for the maturity exam
