Georg Lingenfelder Morio Muskat 2024

Georg Lingenfelder’s 2024 Morio Muskat comes from a roughly 50-year-old vineyard—one of Germany’s oldest plantings of this grape. Grown on limestone in the northern Pfalz and made with a low-intervention approach, it is an unusual, skin-macerated expression of Morio Muskat.

Tasting Notes
The four days of skin contact give this orange wine a deeper, golden-to-amber appearance than a typical white wine. Morio Muskat is naturally aromatic, with floral and muscat-like notes; skin maceration and fermentation in oak add texture and a more savoury dimension to the palate. The wine’s aging potential is not specified, so enjoy it while its aromatic character is expressive.

Production
The fruit comes from a limestone-influenced parcel in Großkarlbacher Burgweg. All grapes are hand-harvested, then foot-crushed and left on their skins for four days before pressing. Fermentation takes place with wild yeasts in barriques made from Pfalz oak, with only a small amount of sulphur added. The wine is labelled “Gkb_CastleLane” because its Landwein classification does not permit the vineyard’s single-site name to appear.

Food & Serving
Its aromatic character and skin-contact texture should suit spiced dishes, aromatic vegetables, and richly flavoured cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 10–12°C. A short rest in the glass can help the wine open up; extended decanting is not necessary.
