Eierfels Riesling Trocken

Variety: Riesling • Region: Nahe • Vineyard: Dorsheimer Goldloch and Dorsheimer Burgberg • Soil Type: Loam, gravel, quartz, slate • Fermentation & Élevage: Large used barrels

Originally harvested as Grosses Gewächs (GG) and produced in wood barrels, the wine is a blending of fruit from Goldloch and Burgberg. The wine is named for the Eierfels, a natural landmark that resembles an egg laid on its side and which serves as the boundary between the two world-class sites. After a gentle pressing the wine is fermented in large used barrels, and left in extended contact with the lees.

"The interplay of stone fruit and saltiness on the beautifully balanced medium-bodied palate makes this a delicious and fascinating dry riesling. Impressive concentration and minerality make this dry riesling a top GG look-alike. Very long, structured"

"The 2022 Riesling Burg Layer Eierfels was harvested in the sites of Goldloch, pebbly Permian conglomerate and Burgberg on quartzite. The name is derived from an egg-shaped rock between the two sites. It was fermented and matured on gross less in Stück. Yeast, narcissus and lemon peel combine into a scented nose. Later on, a riper red apple joins in. The palate is lithe and bright, with a slightly spicy notion of yeast, flickering with salt and a touch of salted preserved lemon. The finish is bone dry and ends with a serene sense of lemon juice and pith. (Bone-dry)"
