Info about the wine

The grapes for this wine grow, as the name suggests, on the grey slate in the steep slopes of Pünderich, predominantly in somewhat higher-lying plots. The grapes are usually harvested in mid-October at around 85-90° Oechsle. Fermented spontaneously in old Fuder barrels.

Color

Bright, sparkling golden yellow.

Nose

The nose of the 2020 Riesling "vom grauen Schiefer" is still somewhat closed due to its youth. After a longer opening, fine grapefruit, citrus and green apple notes emerge, intermingling with delicately smoky hints, ginger, lemon balm and wild mint. Cool notes from the slate also suggest themselves and emphasise its mineral terroir character. One is tempted to taste this fresh, crystal-clear drop directly.

Palate

On the tongue, it shines with lively freshness, the acidity is present and youthful, the salivation is directly stimulated beautifully. Every sip tempts you to take another, but you also notice that it is still in its infancy and that you should exercise patience to open it, because there is more to come. Fine tart grapefruit notes in the reverberation stimulate the appetite with their fine phenolic, dishes with vegetables and herbs are trumps here!
