Deidesheim Paradiesgarten Riesling Erste Lage trocken - Weingut Andres - Organic

An elegant, filigree Pfalz Riesling of cool tension and mineral clarity. The Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten, one of the highest-situated Erste Lagen at the edge of the Pfälzerwald forest, shows itself here in a particularly slender, austere-elegant interpretation.

On the nose, the wine presents itself fresh and precise, with lemon zest, yellow apple and a hint of white blossom, complemented by fine herbal notes and a clear mineral undertone.

On the palate, the Riesling appears slender and pointed, carried by a lively, precise acidity and a fine, austere-elegant structure. A subtle creaminess from the Buntsandstein subsoil adds extra drive, with a long, cool and mineral-driven finish.

The exposed southeast-facing site at the edge of the Pfälzerwald brings particular coolness and freshness to the wine. The afternoon shade from the forest extends the ripening period of the grapes and lends the wine its filigree structure. The vines are rooted in austere, weathered Buntsandstein soil – a soil that gives the Riesling its mineral signature.

After gentle pressing, the wine was spontaneously fermented with natural yeasts from the vineyard and aged for 100 % in large oak casks on the full lees. The yield was limited to just 30 hl/ha.

A filigree, mineral-driven Pfalz Riesling with cool elegance, fine structure and considerable ageing potential.
