Riesling vom grauen Schiefer

"Vom grauen Schiefer" literally means "from the grey slate". The grapes grow on the steep slopes around Pünderich where grey slate dominates the soil – giving the typical minerality and a touch of white and yellow peach. Hand-picked at the end of October, gently pressed and spontaneously fermented in old Fuder casks. In the cool cellar fermentation often runs until summer; the wine is bottled after ten to eleven months in cask, with as little intervention as possible.

Citrus, wild herbs and white peach. Taut, spicy and dry on the palate, with a lightly grippy finish. The long lees contact gives structure and ageing potential: drink from 2026 to 2036.

Appellation: Mosel – VDP.Ortswein
