Removal Info:
Handpicked, followed by 5 hours of gentle pressing and spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel.
Location info:
The planting was made with masal vines.The soil consists of stone-rich red sandstone in the upper horizon and heavy red clay in the subsoil. Reiterpfad is rather a warm and dry site, which only brings out its advantages,
if you work a lot on the ground. Species-rich greenery must burst the clay so that the roots find their way into the red clay, which can store water well.
Color:
Delicate golden yellow with green reflections.
Nose:
The 2018 Riesling Reiterpfad is immediately present on the nose. Strikingly intense, it shows the two soils on which it was grown. With enough oxygen, vineyard peach, apple, apple skin and lemon verbena come through. Peppery, herbaceous cesty notes give it depth and pith. Already in the nose an extraordinary drop which makes curious.
Palate:
This Riesling is a real delight, juicy and expansive, characterized by fine honey notes, without any residual sweetness. It demands, it lulls and it seduces not only to another sip, but to empty the bottle, best in combination with a cuisine that has the same intensity as itself.
