This wine has soft and delicate aromas of peach and nectarine fruit on the nose. On the palate, it is crisp with balanced acidity and a touch of apple flavor. The finish is pleasing and lingering.
This is a wine made from grapes that are grown organically and in the most healthy and natural way possible. The vineyard is owned by the church and was once literally the “Bishop’s Garden.” Very low yields, severe selection of fruit at harvest and a gentle pressing are used to make this wine from fully ripened grapes. Natural fermentation using ambient yeasts maintain the site specific character and nuance. The wine rests on the skins for one day followed by gravity racking and fermentation and aging on the fine lees.
Owned by Christine Lucas sister to Nik Weis, this estate produces outstanding Riesling from important vineyard sites in the Pfalz. This estate was established over 50 years ago and has a much warmer climate than the Mosel with different soil. The resultant wines
tend to be drier in style with a little bit higher alcohol levels. It is located in the Rhine valley and protected to the North and the West by the Hunsrueck Mountains. That's what makes the climate here almost Mediterranean. The soil is heavier and less stony than in the Mosel. They don't have slate like in the Mosel, they have volcanic, glacial and river sediments. That's why the wines are not as mineral but due to the warmer climate more full bodied than the wines in the Mosel. In general they have less acidity and more of a roundness. The flavors of their Rieslings are more on the peachy side than on the grapefruit side, as they are in Mosel wines.
