Deidesheim Herrgottsacker Riesling Erste Lage trocken - Weingut Andres - Organic
Sufficient stock! Ready to ship!
Aromatically characterized by light, subtle fruit, precise acidity and a mineral tautness, the Riesling appears slender, clear and inviting. The combination of maturation in wooden barrels and natural fermentation also gives it depth and a subtly creamy contour.
A clearly structured, straightforward Riesling from the single vineyard Herrgottsacker in Deidesheim – the most accessible representative in the Andres winery's vineyard portfolio. Spontaneously fermented with the winery's own yeasts and fully matured in large wooden barrels, it shows a precise, fine texture and an elegant balance of freshness and pressure on the palate.
The Herrgottsacker stretches above Deidesheim on gently sloping sites up to an altitude of approx. 110–140 m and has a well-ventilated, moderately warm microclimate. The soils consist predominantly of red sandstone and weathered red sandstone, which provide a fine, salty minerality, good drainage and a precise, rather restrained fruit. The low yields of approx. 35 hl/ha promote concentration and clear structure.
An elegant, accessible Riesling that precisely reflects the signature of the red sandstone and the typical Deidesheim freshness.
