Kleinfels Riesling 2020

With plenty of citrus fruit flavours on the palate and lovely floral aromatics, this dry Riesling shows all the hallmarks of the classic Alsace style. It is elegant, but with a certain weight and richness, balanced by a refreshing finish. A great match for seafood, this is also delicious paired with smoked meats, particularly pork.

This region offers a semi continental climate with Marn, clay and chalk soil.

300 ha vineyard in Beblenheim and surrounding area. Harvested in September. Typical Alsace training for those vines, double guyot pruning with approximately 8 buds per branch. The training is high. The soil is worked superficially and mechanically to protect soil specificity. We sowed every 2 rows with wheat and flowers, on the other rows, we let grown natural grass. Green harvests were done for the wine quality.

Discontinuous press / settling by flotation or centrifugation. Traditional vinification under temperature control for 1-6 weeks.

2 months on the lees.
