Info about the situation
The "Lene" of the Pfingstbach gives the name to this site, whose vineyards gently descend into the stream valley with a slight south-west slope. Fertile clayey loess is interspersed here with ferruginous red quartzite veins. "Eiserberg" was therefore an old vineyard name of Lenchen, referring to this geological peculiarity. The early mists of the Pfingstbach favour the spread of Botrytis Cinerea - ideal conditions for the creation of noble sweet wines.
Info about the expansion
Spontaneously fermented, matured in stainless steel tank
Color
Bright sparkling golden yellow with delicate green reflections
Nose
The 2019 Riesling Lenchen Spätlese seduces with mango, orange, ripe apple and candied ginger. The aromas flow charmingly into each other and are enveloped by concise minerality and cool rocky notes.
Palate
On the tongue, this Spätlese impresses with its expansive fruit, creamy and sweet structure and a fine acidity that is extremely invigorating. The fineness and the fantastic sweetness-acidity interplay, as well as the extremely moderate alcohol of only 9Vol% encourage one or two more glasses. Spicy and sweet dishes love its accompaniment!
