Wine information
The Oestricher "Quarzit" has its origins in the Oestricher Doosberg, Klosterberg and Lenchen sites. The soil is humus-rich and sometimes somewhat clayey loess loam, interspersed with grey quartzite. The water supply in the Doosberg is optimal. The roots of the vines receive enough moisture and can still supply the grapes sufficiently even in hot summer months.
Information on the expansion
100 % Hand harvest, gentle whole bunch pressing, spontaneous fermentation with the natural yeasts, ageing on the full lees until the end of March in large wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks.
Color
Bright lemon yellow with green reflections.
Nose
The 2021 Riesling Quarzit exudes coolness, precision and freshness on the nose. Citrus, lime, green apple, but also quince and bergamot dance the round dance, underpinned by the typical earthy, spicy and mineral components known from the house of Kühn.
Palate
On the palate, it provides invigorating freshness due to the multi-layered acidity, which is very nicely embedded in the fruit melt. Its earthy and yeasty nature lends it complexity and makes it the perfect food companion. A wine that convinces with crystalline clarity and that will age wonderfully.
At this stage, decant or enjoy from large glasses.
