Description
The Okonomierat Rebholz Riesling Kastanienbusch Grosses Gewachs is another typical 'large' terroir wine from Rebholz, a wine is made separately from each mountain or hill with its own unique soil structure. This 'chestnut forest' is a big name in the Palatinate because it is one of the major crus in the region. Light golden yellow in color, very aromatic nose with some flint. Intense wine that touches all corners of the mouth. Tight dry wine with a fresh and very powerful attack, mouth-filling, complex and very interesting to experience. What depth and length!
The red slate soil, unique in Palatinate, gives this wine its special aromatic power: elegant citrus fruit, apple, apricot, aromatic green herbs and (green) tea. The structure is balanced, powerful yet elegant and fresh, and the ripe fruity and mineral taste is simply fantastic!
The strictly selected Riesling grapes undergo a cold soak immediately upon arrival in the wine cellars to utilize the full aromatic power of the skins. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The search is for a perfect balance between fresh acid, fruit, residual sugar and alcohol.
