Tasting Notes: ‘Feinherb’ means this wine is not too sweet but also not too dry. It’s intense, with fresh fruit aromas and flavors. Distinct minerality and spice are layered over green apple and citrus notes. Tangy acidity keeps everything in balance.
Vinification: This wine is sourced primarily from the Berg Roseneck vineyard which has two very distinct sections. The eastern side is flatter with loess and loam soils, and as evidenced here, produces richer, more acidic wines. Grapes from the Bischofsberg vineyard are also used. Here, the clay and limestone soils result in rounder wines, and this contribution expresses itself right up front when you first sip this wine. Select grapes are hand-picked. Fermentation takes place spontaneously and naturally from ambient yeasts in Fuders
Food Pairing: Perfect with seafood, Mediterranean dishes and spicy food.
