In the glass
Colour
Pale, luminous lemon yellow in the glass.
Nose
Lively notes of citrus fruits, green apple and pear, alongside greengage and ripe peach with an impression of succulent fruit.
Palate
Fresh, juicy and easy-drinking with a playful line of acidity and accomplished fruit concentration – a dry Riesling that flows effortlessly.
Character
A classic Palatinate Riesling at estate-wine level: honest, cheerful and straightforward in the best sense – a glass wine for good spirits and carefree moments.
Pairing
The ideal companion to asparagus dishes, crisp salads with goat’s cheese or Asian-inspired stir-fries with fresh herbs.
Notes
Shaped by the limestone marl and red sandstone terroir around Maikammer; spontaneously fermented according to the estate’s principles and left on the lees for a long time – lending this entry-level wine remarkable depth at a moderate 12.0% ABV.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Pale lemon yellow, clear and brilliant in the glass — a Riesling that promises freshness even visually.
Nose
Lively and bright-fruited: citrus fruits, green apple and pear, alongside greengage and a hint of peach. Ripeness and freshness are perfectly balanced here, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
Palate
Juicy, cool, direct. A fine, successful sweetness-acidity balance carries the wine, while the fruit appears ripe without becoming heavy. An estate Riesling that proves entry-level is by no means synonymous with banality: easy-drinking, lively, with plenty of drive.
Finish
Fresh and pure, with a citrusy aftertaste and a fine core of fruit that lingers pleasantly long.
Terroir & origin
The vines grow around Maikammer in the Southern Palatinate, on calcareous marl and red sandstone soils. The climate shows Mediterranean traits, while the Haardt forest serves as a protective barrier against westerly winds and ensures a good diurnal temperature range — ideal for Riesling with ripe fruit and lively acidity.
Grape variety & vinification
A single-varietal Riesling, vinified dry with a moderate 12% alcohol. In the cellar at M. Schädler – Steffen Mugler, restraint is the guiding principle: spontaneous fermentation, long ageing on the lees, minimal fining. The result is a wine that clearly reflects its Palatinate origins rather than being smothered in winemaking gloss.
Food recommendations
A versatile food wine for uncomplicated occasions: with asparagus with vinaigrette, goat’s cheese salad, grilled king prawns or a pan of Asian noodles with vegetables. It is also an excellent choice with juicy chicken breast with lemon thyme or as a casual glass to share among friends.
Special features
What distinguishes this Riesling is its honesty. It does not pretend to be a Grosses Gewächs, yet it fulfils its purpose with artisanal ambition: clear, fresh, balanced. Behind it stand Daniela and Steffen Mugler, who tend their vines in Maikammer biodynamically — you taste the diligence, not the effort.
