Reiterpfad Ruppertsberg Spatlese Trocken GG
WINE: This wine is different. Round, deep fruit aromas blend with a balanced mineral character. It has a softness, which although reminiscent of great Burgundy wines, manages to keep its unmistakeable shape thanks to the sophisticated acidity of the mature Riesling.
SOIL: Millions of years ago, where the western limit of our vineyards lies, there was a huge irruption in the landscape, the Rhine rift. Here the sea deposited its sediments layer by layer. When aeons later the mountains of Haardt range arose in this area, a calciferous sediment block came to light and today determines the unique quality of the soil.
The microclimate also contributes to making the wine so special. To the South, West and North, the vineyard is protected by sandstone walls or buildings. This protection has a two-fold positive influence on the wine. The walls protect the vineyard from late frosts and likewise provide natural shade in the summer, thus making its subtle acid structure a striking feature of the Reiterpfad.
HARVEST: 5.10. & 8.10.2007
YIELD: 30 hl/ha
FINISHING: Carefully finished, sedimentation overnight in stainless steel tanks and then fermentation and storage on the primary yeast in large wooden casks. First and one-off racking was in April and filling was done in the middle of May.
CAN BE STORED: 2020 and beyond
RECOMMENDED DISHES: The Riesling from the Reiterpfad is Burgundian and this opens up completely new combinations. It woos dark meat with sweetish complex sauces just as well as spicy roasted beef with opulent, nuttily creamy side dishes.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE: approx. 10-11°C
