Why shop with us?
Seckinger’s 2020 Riesling comes from Deidesheimer Petershöhle, a treasured, long-neglected vineyard that the family began restoring around three decades ago. Its old terraces, cool woodland-edge setting and lean red Buntsandstein soils give this site-specific Pfalz wine a distinctive sense of place.
Tasting Notes
The nose suggests delicate nectarine and peach. On the palate, the emphasis shifts to herbal spice and pronounced anise notes, carried by the vineyard’s naturally high acidity; in the warm 2020 vintage, that freshness is notably harmonious. No information is provided about the wine’s appearance or its aging potential.
Production
Petershöhle’s old terraces sit beside the forest in a relatively cool microclimate, on poor soils of red Buntsandstein sandstone. The difficult-to-work site produces musts with naturally high acidity. A multi-day period of skin contact helps soften that acidity, while its natural freshness allows the wine to remain stable with modest sulphur use. Harvesting details are not specified.
Food & Serving
Its herbal, anise-like character and lively acidity should work well with roast poultry, pork, freshwater fish or dishes featuring fennel and herbs. Try it lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential, though a brief airing in the glass can help the aromas unfold.
Producer
Weingut Seckinger is a family estate in the Pfalz, where the Seckinger brothers now tend Petershöhle, a vineyard their father began to reclaim around 30 years ago. The family’s restoration of these challenging old terraces is central to the story of this wine. No further details about the winery’s history or awards are provided.
