Riesling 2020

Country: Germany

Grape variety: Riesling
Alcohol by volume: 11,5%
Bottle size: 0,75 l

The grapes for this Riesling are harvested in early September and pressed in whole bunches, followed by nine months on the yeast in steel tanks. Using steel allows the grapes to speak for themselves, without the flavour of the vessel becoming part of the final product. No filtration is used and a minimal amount of sulphur is added before filling.

Air for an hour pre-drinking and give it a shake before you pop the cork. If you have the patience (and willpower!) to try it over a few days, you’ll be rewarded by this wine’s ability to develop in the glass. We found a slightly smoky nose with starfruit and green apple, followed by citrus and a pleasant bitterness that goes well with creamy pasta or fried food.
