Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, this wine typically shows a bright, crystalline character with Riesling’s signature freshness. The nose leans toward citrus, green apple, orchard fruit, and subtle floral notes, with a cool slate-like mineral edge that reflects its site. On the palate, it is dry, focused, and structured, balancing ripe fruit with lively acidity and a long, clean finish. The Spätlese quality gives it extra concentration and depth, while the dry style keeps it precise and food-friendly. It should age gracefully, developing greater complexity, honeyed nuances, and petrol notes over time.

Production
This wine comes from Wallufer Walkenberg in the Rheingau, a vineyard area known for producing expressive Rieslings with elegance and mineral definition. The combination of the Rheingau’s cool climate, river influence, and historic slate-rich terroir helps preserve freshness while allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness. Vinification is carried out in a style that emphasizes purity, site expression, and a dry finish.

Food & Serving
Excellent with roast poultry, pork dishes, schnitzel, grilled fish, and refined Asian cuisine, especially dishes with a touch of spice or sweetness. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and consider a short decant if the wine is showing restraint in its youth.
