Frankweiler Käfernberg Riesling - Weingut J.J. Berizzi
Sufficient stock! Ready to ship!
A finely delineated, precise Riesling with quiet power and a clear sense of origin. The wine combines freshness and structure into a balanced, elegant overall expression.
On the nose, it shows delicate citrus notes, complemented by fresh blood orange and a hint of verbena. The aromatics are clear and focused, with restrained fruit and subtle herbal spice. On the palate, the Riesling is round, supple, and precise, supported by perfectly integrated acidity and a fine texture.
The Frankweiler Käfernberg vineyard lies right at the edge of the forest and benefits from a cool microclimate. Early evening shading and the freshness from the adjacent woodland promote slow ripening, preserving acidity and precision. Wines from this site are characterized by clarity, freshness, and elegance.
The grapes were harvested ripe by hand (yield approx. 35 hl/ha), processed without prior clarification after a short period of skin contact, and fermented spontaneously at warmer temperatures. Aging took place 60% in large oak casks and 40% in stainless steel, followed by nine months on the lees, giving the wine depth and a fine, creamy texture.
A precise, well-balanced Riesling with fine structure and clear site expression—calm, elegant, and persistent.
