WINE DESCRIPTION
This Riesling is produced by Louis Guntrum, an estate that was established in 1648, which remains a family-operated winery to this day. This medium-dry Riesling is sourced from Nierstein and Oppenheim villages in the Rheinhessen region. The Riesling grapes undergo a gentle pressing, followed by a fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is aged on the lees for a short period prior to bottling.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Louis Guntrum Riesling shines in the glass with a pale straw, almost water-white color.The nose is vibrant and elegant, offering aromas of ripe apricot, apple and lemon, with notable mineral notes. The wine is almost featherlight and angular on the palate, driven by a core of steely acidity that is well balanced by sweetness. The ripe fruit flavors and mineral notes are present on the moderately long finish.
