DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
• Variety: Riesling • Region: Nahe • Vineyard: Norheimer Dellchen • Soil Type: Grey slate subsoil covered with a layer of porphyry • Fermentation & Élevage: Fermented and matured in a mixture of stainless steel vats and neutral 10+-year-old 1200L German stückfass from Hösch.\n\nNorheimer Dellchen:\nSteep cliffs of extrusive igneous rock (porphyry and melaphyr) rise directly from the banks of the River Nahe between Norheim and Niederhäusen. Between those cliffs are small hollows, known in the local dialect as Dellchen. The slate soils here are mixed with the stony precipitate sedimentary rock of the adjacent volcanic cliffs. The extremely steep, perfectly south-facing slope is terraced by dry stone walls that demand a rigorous level of labor-intensive care. Protected by the surrounding cliffs, the Riesling grapes enjoy an extremely long hang time and year for year achieve perfect levels of ripeness.
