2020 Ried Eisenhut 1Ötw Riesling
Drink because…
A meaner wine than its cousin, Goldberg!
Grapes
100% Riesling
Storage
Barrel Time: 10 months
Viticulture
This wine comes from the hottest vineyard in Grossriedenthal, where Bioweingut DIWALD is from. A Southern-facing slope helps grow these Riesling grapes. They ripen very late and contain less sugar than the Goldberg fruit. The grapes are hand-picked in October and whole bunch pressed.
Winemaking
The spontaneous fermentation of the wine means that DIWALD's close relation with nature allows them to interfere as little as possible in the cellar.
Tasting Note
An unusual minerality can be found in this wine alongside a tight acidic structure.
