Color:
The wine shows itself in intense straw yellow with golden reflexes and a discreet yeast cloudiness shining in the glass.
Nose:
Ready for the risk and dissolving traditional motifs, the Welschriesling Freyheit paints a new radiant picture of the supposed "bread & butter" grape variety. With its head proudly held high, it displays a magnificent array of greenish-yellow fruit. Alongside grassy freshness of tarragon, fennel greens and lemon balm and ethereal herbal spice of coriander seeds and mustard seeds, the bouquet of this Welschriesling dresses itself with star fruit and kiwi. And real, ripe kiwi at that, as opposed to some E741 or the like that tries in vain to mimic the aromatic beauty of a kiwi.
No, it's all real;
and beguiling.
Palate:
Clear the air for a fresh start with the grit you need.
Thanks to its fine, tightly woven tannins and yeast lees that imbibe freshness, the 2017 Welschriesling Freyheit from the Heinrich family departs from the supposed classic in terms of its appearance and passes on a direct and spontaneous interpretation of the Welschriesling grape. A different truth.
Gossamer bitterness gives it immense coolness and juicy pull on the palate, not to want to end in an unexpectedly salty reverberation and to demand emphatically for accompanying food.
