Weingut Hanewald-Schwerdt Riesling 'Auf der Pochel' Trocken 2023

Grown in different vineyards around Bad Durkheim & Leistadt. Typical soils are sandstone and limestone. Picking in the morning, 4-5 hours skin contact before pressing, sedinmentation overnight, racking, temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, resting on the yeast until bottling in April. A lovely fresh, zesty dry Riesling. Ripe apple and lime on the nose and pallet with a lemon zestiness, good weight and crisp acidity, dry but not mouth puckering. Works as an aperitif, oysters and other shellfish and good with a bit of spice too.
