Sourced from one of Prinz Salm’s finest sites in Wallhausen, this Grosses Gewächs combines ripe fruit, striking minerality, and refined precision in a style that speaks clearly of both place and producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow with nearly a decade of bottle age, the wine shows a beautiful golden-pale hue and a layered aromatic profile. The nose unfolds with candied lemon, white flowers, flint, and subtle hints of honey and beeswax, while the palate balances mature citrus fruit with a firm, racy acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.\n\nWhat makes this vintage especially compelling is the way its youthful energy has evolved into complexity, yet the wine remains focused and alive. It has the structure and concentration to continue aging gracefully for many years, gaining even more depth and tertiary character over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Wallhausen’s distinctive red slate and limestone soils, which lend the wine both tension and mineral nuance. The fruit is carefully hand-harvested, then spontaneously fermented and matured for an extended period on fine lees in stainless steel, a method that preserves freshness while allowing the vineyard character to shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Riesling is a natural match for rich seafood, shellfish, roasted poultry, Asian dishes with a touch of spice, or classic pork preparations with fruit and herbs.
