2023 Himmelreich Riesling

Burgundian exoticism on stony ground.

This Riesling combines ripe, juicy fruit with a remarkably cool freshness. It smells of mango, passion fruit, and mirabelle plum, complemented by lime zest and the seductive impression of a freshly baked lemon tart. A delicate almond and herbal spice ensures that the fruit never tastes sweet or superficial.

On the palate, it displays power and richness, yet remains clear and linear due to its lively lime freshness. A stony, slightly salty trace extends into the long finish, immediately making you crave the next sip. The old vines grow on highly compacted clay marl over solid limestone. Their small berries deliver particularly concentrated aromas, while the cool nights in Himmelreich preserve the freshness.
