Riesling RZ26 Feinherb - VDP.Weingut Martin Schwarz

A semi-dry Riesling with radiance, precision, and remarkable depth. The RZ26 owes its name to its residual sugar content of 26 g/l, which gives this wine its juicy balance and accessibility. It combines the characteristics of two of the winery's single vineyards and impressively demonstrates how harmoniously fruit, acidity, and minerality can interact.

The nose reveals flint, white stone fruit, and crisp pear, complemented by a delicate citrus accent. The aroma is clear, lively, and multifaceted, with a cool mineral underpinning and increasing depth in the glass.

On the palate, the Riesling is velvety, immensely juicy, and full of tension. The acidity enlivens the wine, yet remains soft and fully integrated. The delicate sweetness carries the fruit without dominating, ensuring balance and length. With each sip, new nuances unfold, making the wine lively and invigorating.

The RZ26 is not aged in wood, but deliberately in stainless steel tanks, where it matures for a long time on its fine lees. This extended lees aging gives it texture, depth, and inner calm, while preserving freshness and clarity. The result is a precise, elegant Riesling with a pronounced terroir expression.

A semi-dry Riesling with energy, minerality, and perfect balance, masterfully combining accessibility and sophistication.
