Margarethenhof Ayler Kupp Riesling Kabinett 2015

Margarethenhof is a quality conscious, family producer that works with low yielding Riesling vines on the steep slopes above the village of Ayl on the river Saar. This is a Kabinett, on the lighter end of the spectrum in Germany, and low alcohol. An aromatic honeyed nose, with fantastically concentrated, ripe fruit and plenty of tangy acidity on the palate. Vibrant and lingering finish. Ideal served on its own, but an excellent match to Thai cuisine or sweet cheeses.

From the steep slopes of Ayler Kupp the grapes are harvested in the healthy, fully ripe by repeated selection of hand. The purchase and development of the grapes is strictly limited quantity of environmentally friendly hand, the expansion of the wines most advanced technology is used, such as slow, cooled fermentation of the wine in stainless steel tanks. Bridled slow fermentation ensures excellent flavor formation. Slate gives this wine its distinctive minerality (must weight at least Spätlese quality). The wines are unique due to their strong fruit-driven, racy bouquet.
