{"product_id":"forster-pechstein-riesling-trocken-grosse-lage-weingut-margarethenhof","title":"Forster Pechstein Riesling trocken Grosse Lage - Weingut Margarethenhof","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere are only a few vineyards in Germany grown on volcanic rock, and Forster Pechstein is one of them. This Riesling from Weingut Margarethenhof is the liquid portrait of this geological exception: saline, precise, cool, and possessed of a minerality that cannot be described, only felt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn the nose, the wine opens with citrus stones, green apple, and a flinty note like freshly struck stone. Floral, cool, without a hint of sweetness, as if the aroma came directly from the rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn the palate, it is bone-dry, lean, and razor-sharp in its precision. A saline acidity gives the wine length, carried by a vibrant, almost electric minerality that does not end, but resonates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe soil is anything but accidental: dark basalt from the Pechsteinkopf, a dormant volcanic vent directly above the vines. This black rock retains heat like almost no other soil in the Palatinate, slowly releasing it back to the vines. This creates a microclimate that is almost unique in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAfter selective hand-harvesting, the wine is aged quietly, with light pressing, skin contact on the press, and long lees aging until July of the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Palatinate Riesling for purists. Volcanic, uncompromising, long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOrganic from the 2024 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Margarethenhof","offers":[{"title":"2023 \/ 0.75 l","offer_id":54002283446538,"sku":"DE08212047523","price":34.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2024 \/ 0.75 l","offer_id":54002283479306,"sku":"DE08212047524","price":34.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/1726\/6442\/files\/margarethenhof-forster-pechstein-schwarzes-etikett-1000x1000.webp?v=1794237244","url":"https:\/\/weinundnielsen.de\/en-fi\/products\/forster-pechstein-riesling-trocken-grosse-lage-weingut-margarethenhof","provider":"Wein \u0026 Nielsen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
