Riesling 2018-20 190 N.N. [Nakt]

Wine Description for Riesling 2018-20 190 M.A.S.L. [Naked] from Odinstal

Colour & Appearance

Cloudy apricot with fine mousse – this natural Riesling presents itself deliberately unfiltered and lively with a gentle sparkle in the glass.

Nose

Despite its name „Naked“, this wine is anything but restrained: intense and expressive, almost shimmering. The pronounced yeast aroma forms the foundation for a complex bouquet of vineyard peach, elderflower and elderwood, complemented by floral hibiscus notes. Fresh accents of citrus, citrus zest and ginger meet delicate malty nuances, rooibos tea and light noble tobacco – an aromatic firework that awakens curiosity.

Palate

The gentle mousse refreshes immediately, whilst a carpet of yeast and light fruits caresses the tongue. This wine is eminently drinkable in the best sense: plenty of freshness, plenty of grip, plenty of depth. The texture is lively and complex, never one-dimensional – a natural wine with character and structure.

Terroir & Origin

Grown in a terraced vineyard in the Palatinate at 190 metres above sea level, characterised by biodiversity. The vineyard is managed in pure handwork without tractors – a commitment to traditional, respectful viticulture.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A cuvée from three Riesling vintages (2018-20), fermented on the skins and bottled unfiltered. This vinification method gives the wine its characteristic texture, complexity and natural cloudiness – an honest, artisanal approach.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An excellent food companion: with tomato consommé with basil dumplings, orecchiette with pears, rocket and almonds or cheese and ham crostini with wild herb salad. The freshness and grip make it an ideal partner for vegetarian cuisine and light meat dishes.

Special Features

An authentic natural wine made by hand, which deliberately questions conventions. The cuvée from three vintages and skin fermentation are not passing trends, but carefully considered oenological decisions that give this Riesling its unmistakable personality.
