WINE DESCRIPTION
An extraordinary biodynamic Riesling hailing from the steep Mosel slopes near Pünderich, deeply rooted in pure slate soil! This wine boasts a splendidly expressive, juicy, and demanding character, with a mineral-salty, lean profile that exudes vitality. It possesses a refreshing, velvety, and dense quality, featuring delicate herbal hints, understated citrus and stone fruit notes, and, with proper aging (at least 2-3 years of bottle maturation), a spectrum of flavors including citrus, peach, berries, and caramel. As it matures, the acidity harmoniously melds, so resist the urge to uncork it too soon! Despite its impressive mouthfeel, the alcohol content remains remarkably low.
