"A Riesling with an intense herbaceous character due to its proximity to the River Nahe!
"The climate at Roxheimer Höllenpfad is cooler and is generally harvested 4 to 5 days later than at Niederhausen. Red sandstone soils. The bouquet reveals freshness, minerality and fine nuances of pear and quince. The attack is fruity and slightly salty. A perfect symbiosis of charm and freshness! A welcoming, invigorating and persistent wine. It will be interesting to follow its development, but perhaps the real challenge will be to resist it" (Yves Beck 2023)

About the wine:
Very striking nose of wild berries and herbs (tarragon!), with a touch of white peach. Very zesty and vibrant, with great mountain freshness on a slender, concentrated body, this wine shows lots of lime zest and marrow on a dry, high-energy finish. Made from organically grown, Fair'n Green-certified grapes. For drinking or cellaring.
