Description

“Riesling is a house specialty,” says Christoph Thörle. Together with his brother Johannes, he owns approximately nineteen hectares of vineyards in the northern part of Rheinhessen. In addition to Riesling, the brothers focus largely on white Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and red Spätburgunder grapes. “Every vine, every grape, and every wine bears our stamp,” says Christoph.

The Riesling grapes for this wine come from various vineyards in the village of Saulheim. The soil consists predominantly of limestone and calcareous loess. In a temperate climate, this subsoil is ideal for the slow and balanced ripening of the grapes.

After crushing the grapes, a cold maceration of approximately sixteen hours follows, during which the juice comes into contact with the skins for optimal fruit expression. Fermentation then takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine rests on the lees for about four months for added depth and complexity.

Drinks with

Refreshing white wine to drink as an aperitif, or excellent to pair with fish salads, Asian dishes (nasi), or cheese fondue.

Tasting note

Expressive, crisp dry white wine with notes of lime, Granny Smith, pear, and light toast. Deliciously juicy yet lively and fresh on the palate. The finish is crystal clear and persistent with pure citrus fruit.

Shelf life

Lovely to drink soon after bottling and keeps for up to 4 years after the harvest.
