The 2021 Riesling Rotliegend is an outstanding dry Riesling that masterfully combines the cool elegance of the vintage with the unique minerality of its terroir. The vineyard plot lies on Rotliegend soil, characterized by red sand and sandstone with quartz and quartzite inclusions, which gives the wine its distinctive depth and structure.
This Riesling impresses with its crisp acidity and subtle citrus fruit, which accentuates its cool freshness. However, the pronounced minerality and firm structure take center stage, lending the wine a classic finesse. With its excellent aging potential, the 2021 Riesling Rotliegend promises impressive development over the years.
With only around 800 bottles produced, this wine is an exclusive treat that embodies the greatness of dry Riesling. A must-have for lovers of the grape variety and the terroir.
The Riesling Rotliegend 2021 is a tribute to the classic Riesling style, precise, mineral and full of elegance – a wine that reflects the best of the vintage and its soil.
