Mosel Fine Wines

"The 2017er Palmberg is a bone-dry Riesling (2.5 g/l of residual sugar) made from over 60-year-old un-grafted vines in the St. Aldegunder Palmberg-Terrassen. The wine offers a superb nose of white peach, Provence herbs and whipped cream, all wrapped into some flowery and mineral elements. The wine proves razor sharp and has almost an electrifying feel on the stunningly focused and deep palate. The finish is light - weighted, very refined and simply playful. If you are a fan of the great dry Riesling from Hofgut Falkenstein, you should most certainly consider this wine! Now-2022"

Winemaking:

"All grapes are harvested by hand, generally in multiple passes. A pneumatic press is used and all juice is gravity fed to settle before fermentation. All wines start fermentation spontaneously. A small amount of S02 is added around three weeks after fermentation ends. Total S02 is 25-75ppm for the basic wines depending on the vintage. None of the wines are fined; the basic wines are filtered using diatomaceous earth after 3-12 months on the lees. The higher-end wines may see lower sulfur and/or not be filtered at all. The 'Ohne' (meaning 'without' in German) wines have no S02 added are not filtered and spend longer time on the lees."

Organically grown and vegan-friendly.
