2024 "Auf dem Kalkofen" Riesling trocken Weingut Battenfeld-Spanier Rheinhessen 0,75l

The 2024 "Auf dem Kalkofen" Riesling trocken from Weingut Battenfeld-Spanier is a highly focused terroir wine from one of Rheinhessen’s most distinctive limestone sites. Precision, saline minerality, and a clear sense of origin make it a compelling Riesling for lovers of pure, site-driven wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a cool, bright profile with a finely etched fruit character. Expect lime, green apple, and white blossoms on the nose, supported by a chalky, stony mineral edge that speaks directly of the limestone soils. On the palate, the wine is taut, linear, and impressively precise, with vibrant acidity and a salty limestone texture that gives it real tension and length. The fruit stays cool and focused through the finish, which is long, pure, and distinctly mineral. Built in a style that favours structure and balance, it should age beautifully over the coming years.

Production
This Riesling comes from "Auf dem Kalkofen," a striking limestone vineyard site in Rheinhessen known for its poor, chalky soils and strong mineral expression. The grapes are hand-picked with strict selection, then spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine is matured in large oak casks on the lees for an extended period, adding texture and depth while preserving its transparent, terroir-led character.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine with delicate, high-quality dishes such as raw fish, shellfish, oysters, or minimalist vegetable preparations. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese or lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Best enjoyed at around 8–10°C, with no decanting necessary, though a short aeration can help if the wine is very youthful.
