This is an Ortswein, picked in the second and third passes through the vineyard, produced from two young sites in Gimmeldingen: Kapellenberg and Biengarten, both Erste Lagen. So again, in Burgundian terms we effectively have a village wine made from a blend of premiers crus.
"Wet-stone minerality and peachy
fruit on the nose. The palate is finely chiseled on the entry, with a warming ripe apricot to the mid-palate, making for a friendly, cushioned wine which benefits from the rigour of a steely backbone of acidity."
Germany produces some of the world’s very finest white wines, presenting natural, grapey richness complemented by racy acidity. A really fine example sets off a roller coaster of emotion akin to a skilfully played piece of music.
