Wine profile
Die ‘N’ Serie bringt Weine hervor, die in Abwesenheit jeglicher Grenzen und ohne Filtration, gefördert durch wilde Hefen, ihre vollständige Entfaltung erfahren. Die Buchstabe ‘N’ steht für Natural, No filtration, No limits, Next Level.
Maturing process
The wine follows a natural rhythm, initiated by spontaneous fermentation in tonneau, followed by an additional spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, it remains on the full lees until the beginning of June and is then separated from the lees by means of fall pressure and bottled unfiltered with a touch of sulphur. Special attention is paid to avoiding high alcohol levels during the harvest in order to allow the fermentation-related fineness, freshness and elegance to take their place.
Vineyard site
The vineyards from which this wine comes are located in the west of the Reiterpfad near the forest. They are unique in that they have limestone alongside the typical red sandstone and clay in their soils.
Colour shade
The wine shows a solid medium golden yellow.
Bouquet
An intense yeast aroma meets an abundance of fruit. Apple, fresh pear and especially orange in all their diversity set the tone. Aeration lets it show its full range and reveals aromas of ginger, lime oil, coriander and privet blossom. Its youthfulness still holds back some of its true beauty.
Taste
Der 2020er Riesling Reiterpfad Hochseel ‘N’ explodiert am Gaumen mit frischer, reiner Kühle und überfüllt ihn mit saftiger Frucht und expressiven Zitrusnoten. Er ist noch etwas zurückhaltend, tiefgründig und kompliziert, und überrascht mit feiner Bitterkeit im langen Nachklang. Ein wenig Reifezeit würde ihm schmeicheln, obwohl er mit seinem frischen und pikanten Charakter bereits jetzt unwiderstehlich einnimmt. Die Verwendung größerer Burgundergläser und ausreichender Belüftung, falls Sie ihn bereits jetzt genießen möchten, wird empfohlen.
Food recommendations
Try it with a pea and edamame mixture garnished with a miso-lime marinade on rice cakes. As a second option, serve it alongside foie gras terrine with mango chutney and brioche. Or a roasted langoustine accompanied by a sauce of orange, ginger and lemongrass could also come into its own excellently.
