WINE DESCRIPTION
Schmitt’s Kinder Pfülben Randersacker Riesling GG is a testament to German winemaking at its finest, crafted from the revered Grand Cru vineyard, Randersackerer Pfülben. Perched on a steep, sun-soaked slope with a prime south-southwest orientation near the river, this site boasts nutrient-rich Muschelkalk (shell limestone) soils that imbue the wine with remarkable character. Meticulously hand-harvested in multiple passes to ensure only the finest fruit, the grapes benefit from extremely low yields, enhancing concentration and complexity. Gentle vinification and an extended aging period on fine lees result in a wine of exceptional finesse, precision, and depth. A true jewel of Franconia, this Riesling embodies Schmitt’s Kinder’s dedication to tradition and craftsmanship, delivering an unforgettable experience from vineyard to glass.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a remarkable expression of German Riesling from the renowned vineyard of Pfülben in Randersacker.On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of ripe citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, intertwined with delicate floral notes of white blossoms. There is also a subtle mineral undertone that adds complexity to the aromatic profile.
The palate is equally impressive, showcasing a perfect balance between acidity and fruitiness. The citrus flavors continue to dominate, accompanied by hints of green apple and peach. The wine's dryness is complemented by a refreshing crispness, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate a clean and precise style.
With its pronounced acidity and mineral character, this Riesling GG has excellent aging potential. It will continue to evolve and develop more complexity over the years, revealing additional layers of flavor and nuance. Its elegance, balance, and aging potential make it a wine worth savoring on special occasions or pairing with refined seafood dishes, such as grilled scallops or poached lobster.
