Winemaker Notes
Fine and elegant with delicate peach and citrus aromas, but also unusually powerful for the humble category and this producer. Long, ripe and crisp finish. From organically grown grapes.

Wonderful, peachy fruit and minty freshness draw you into this sleek and very racy wine that has a ton of minerality, yet remains medium-bodied. The very solid, crisp finish suggests very good aging potential. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Riesling Trocken Tonschiefer is clear, deep and complex yet bright and refined on the delicately fruity nose. Juicy and mouthfilling yet dense, piquant and structured on the palate, this is a medium-bodied, very fine and elegant dry Riesling with a salty-piquant and pure finish. Highly stimulating and with grip. Tasted as a sample in Bremen, April 2020. Range : (91-92)
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
