Deidesheimer Kalkofen GC Riesling 2018
QbA Pfalz, Dr. Bürklin-Wolf, 3000 ml
Description
The Riesling Kalkofen comes from the warm "Grand Cru" vineyard in Deidesheim on the Mittelhaardt. Grown on a soil consisting mainly of lime, loam, marly clay and limestone rubble. The nose opens up a dense fruit fan, reminiscent of pineapple, lemon and carambola. Accompanied by a delicate smoky note. On the palate, it is initially charming, then it appears with a lot of pressure and an exciting acidity nerve. A fine salty vein interweaves the citrus aromas. A great Riesling with a polished structure and a long-lasting, aromatic aftertaste. Tip: Decant before drinking!

Tranquil winegrowing towns with a diverse range of culinary offerings and hotels make the Palatinate region a perfect wine travel destination.
Germany
Germany – Into the elite the hard way
Sitting in the heart of Europe, the hilly, lake-dotted landscape of Germany provides ideal, fertile soil for the most diverse vine varieties. From Albalonga to Zweigelt, over 140 different grape varieties are grown on about 100,000 acres, cared for by nearly 50,000 vintners. Most of these vintners are young, modern, internationally trained, inquisitive and urbane. It is hardly surprising, then, that German wine has a good reputation well beyond the country's borders.
