Information about wine
The grapes come from the Odinstal monopollage, which extends up to 350 meters above sea level, is comparatively cool for the Palatinate and was planted in the 1980s.
Color
medium straw yellow
Nose
The 2018 Riesling 120 N.N. is the most accessible and charming Riesling of the winery in its youth. And that is exactly how it should be. This Riesling may and wants to be opened and drunk now. On the nose, green apples and pears mingle with Reineclauden and quince, citrus, hops and stone. The wine seems slightly oxidative and also delivers an almost earthy spiciness. On the finish, the Riesling becomes brighter and brighter with floral notes and increasingly white and yellow fruit notes.
Palate
One would like to take this Riesling reflexively in large sips, so much drinking flow it has, so stimulating it is. It has substance and depth, is spicy and at the same time bright in the fruit, which reminds of quinces and ripe stone fruit, of yellow and green citrus fruits and a little of cider apple. More prominent than the fruit, however, are the spicy components, which include herbs and mint, as well as tobacco, licorice and a little cassia bark. The Riesling is direct, powerful and gripping, has all the qualities of an Odinstal wine, but is at the same time refreshingly uncomplicated and clear with salty, mouthwatering minerality.
