2021 Weingut Lorenz & Söhne Tatort Paradies Riesling

The single vineyard/single Vineyard Paradies is almost hat-shaped and is located right next to the Bad Kreuznach district of Bosenheim. The soil consists of clay marl, which is a calcareous clay silt formed thousands of years ago when large parts of the area were covered by the subtropical sea of the Mainz basin and deposited on the inside of the basin.

The Lorenz & Söhne Tatort Paradies Riesling is a Riesling with a light golden yellow color and green reflections. In the nose it is initially closed and very hesitantly reveals the scent of white and yellow flowers. After a long swirl, delicate aromas of white peach, curry and sweet spices emerge. Pleasantly dry on the palate, the delicate fruit is refined with a subtle sweetness. In addition, there is a silky smooth texture, minerality, a slender, delicate body and a long, powerful finish. A Riesling that is delicate and fragrant, but with great complexity and excellent value for money.

The family estate has been established since 1950 in the wine-growing region of Nahe on the city limits of Bad Kreuznach. The modern wine cellars are equipped for the production of fresh wines, where experience and skill are an absolute requirement to produce this type of characterful wines. The area on the Nahe and its tributaries Glan and Alsenz boasts a 2,000-year wine-growing tradition. Thanks to the shelter from cold winds of the high Hunsrück, mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine provide an excellent climate for viticulture. An eventful geological history has given the Nahe area great soil variation. Grapes grow on slate, volcanic porphyry soils, loess or loam. This offers opportunities for a multitude of grape varieties and wine styles.
