Kalkmergel Riesling trocken - Knipser

The Kalkmergel Riesling from Knipser brings exactly the terroir into the bottle, for which the Knipser sites around Laumersheim are so well known and famous. Fully fermented, it conjures up a bouquet full of peaches, mirabelles and pink grapefruit on the nose. Nuances of Golden Delicious, herbal hints, mineral notes from the Kalkmergel subsoil and fine spicy yeast as well as honey notes perfectly round out the bouquet of the Knipser Kalkmergel Riesling.

On the palate, the Kalkmergel Riesling starts with lots of fruit, mineral components such as flint and subtle notes of yellow apples. Long and persistent on the finish. Great wine.

Vinification of the Kalkmergel Riesling from Knipser

Knipser Kalkmergel Riesling is a quality wine cuvée of the finest Riesling wines, mostly in late harvest quality, which Knipser obtains from the best vineyard sites characterized by the Kalkmergel rock. After selective hand harvesting, the grapes are pressed and the must is subjected to cool temperature-controlled fermentation. Half of the grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks, while the other half is fermented in traditional half-barrels (600l) and one-and-a-half-barrels (900l).
