VINEYARDS:
100% Monsheimer Riesling, grown on loess soil with sand, gravel
and clay portions.

VINTAGE:
“The best month for German winemakers this year was, to much
surprise, sun-drenched September. With plenty of sunshine and cool
nights in many regions, September brought a hopeful end to a
season reminiscent of times before climate change. While heat and
drought characterized the vintages from 2018 to 2020 and ensured
an early harvest, this year’s cool weather slowed down growth, as
frequent rain made it extremely challenging for many vintners to
keep downy mildew under control. September then made up for a lot,
as its warm weather ripened fruit and ensured that must weights
were appealing. High-quality grapes were harvested, satisfying
producers and promising good wines with less alcohol than previous
years, but no less aroma.” - German Wine USA

TECH NOTES:
100% Monsheim Riesling. Late harvest in the end of October. Ripe
and juicy grapes. The grapes are macerated for 24 hours in
stainless steel. The wine was then siphoned off to 1200-3000L old
oak barrels to mature for an extended period of time. Bottle
unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphites. 12% ABV
