Lundén & Welander Riesling Mr. White 2018 white

Lundén & Welander Riesling Mr. White 2018 is a crisp, expressive Rheingau Riesling that puts purity and drinkability front and center. Crafted in small quantities by M. Lunden, it showcases the classic tension between ripe fruit and racy acidity that has made the Rheingau one of Germany’s most respected white wine regions. Mr. White 2018 is designed to be both approachable and characterful—equally at home as an aperitif or alongside a carefully cooked meal.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Mr. White 2018 shows a bright, pale straw color with subtle green reflections, hinting at its freshness and youthfulness. The nose is immediately inviting, with notes of juicy lime, green apple, and white peach layered over delicate floral tones—think elderflower and white blossoms—alongside a light mineral edge reminiscent of wet stone. On the palate, the wine is dry, linear, and precise, with vibrant acidity that keeps everything wonderfully lifted. Citrus fruits—lime and lemon zest—take the lead, followed by crunchy apple, stone fruit, and a gentle herbal nuance. A fine, slatey minerality runs through the mid-palate and into the finish, adding both tension and length. The finish is clean, refreshing, and slightly saline, encouraging another sip. While already drinking beautifully now, this 2018 has the structure to develop additional complexity over the next 3–6 years, gaining more honeyed and petrol nuances typical of well-made Rheingau Riesling.

Production
Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Rheingau, Lundén & Welander Riesling Mr. White 2018 reflects the region’s classic cool-climate conditions and mineral-rich soils. The terroir here combines steep, sun-exposed slopes with stony, well-drained soils that help concentrate flavor while preserving acidity. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, typically by hand, to ensure only healthy, aromatic fruit reaches the cellar. After a gentle pressing, the must is fermented at controlled, cool temperatures in stainless steel to preserve primary fruit character and Riesling’s natural precision. The wine is then rested on fine lees for a period to gain a touch of texture and aromatic complexity before bottling, without the influence of new oak, keeping the profile pure, vibrant, and terroir-driven.

Food & Serving
This Rheingau Riesling is a versatile food companion, shining with fresh seafood—think oysters, ceviche, sushi, or simple grilled fish with lemon and herbs. It also pairs beautifully with lightly spiced Asian dishes, crisp salads, goat cheese, and vegetable-focused plates such as asparagus, fennel, or roasted root vegetables. For heartier fare, try it with roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or German classics like schnitzel and potato salad. Serve well-chilled, ideally around 8–10°C (46–50°F), to highlight its refreshing acidity and aromatic lift. Decanting is generally not necessary, but opening the bottle 10–15 minutes before serving allows the aromas to unfurl nicely in the glass.
