White wine Riesling Wein- und Sektgut F. B. Schönleber Alte Reben 2021 (750 ml)

RieslingAlte Reben Erste Lage Oestricher Klosterberg, 2021, from the Wein- und Sektut FB Schönleber winery

The aroma is of ripe apricots. Open and salty, seductive and very true. Dense and persistent. The taste is long, ripe, with intense Riesling notes reminiscent of peaches. Very aromatic, with creamy acidity and a long aftertaste.

Careful hand-picking of grapes at the end of September, transported in tubs. Intensive selection in the vineyard. Grape processing in the cellar without the use of pumps, using only the force of gravity. Cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks, partial fermentation and aging in 600-liter wooden barrels with partial biological acid fermentation. Aging on fine lees until April.

Excellent and honest accompaniment to grilled Lake Constance whitefish, cheese fondue, tortellini with goat cheese and thyme, sweet breaded pastries with potato salad.
