Beisiegel Traisener Kickelskopf Riesling Hochgewächs

A Riesling that explores the tension between fruit and minerality: The high-quality wine from the Traisener Kickelskopf shows what the steep slopes on the Nahe are capable of achieving.

The Beisiegel winery vinifies its Riesling grapes from the eponymous single vineyard Kickelskopf in Traisen — a wine village on the Nahe, known for its characteristic red rock slate soils, which give wines a distinctive minerality.

In the glass, it displays a pale yellow color. The nose opens with apricot and honey, followed by gooseberry and fresh citrus zest. On the palate, the wine is lean and clean, with a fine, creamy texture that complements the cool minerality—the result is a lively yet well-rounded mouthfeel with a fresh, clean finish.

Recommendation: Serve at 8–10 °C. Pairs well with slightly sweet Asian cuisine, lemon chicken, smoked salmon, or as an aperitif with goat cheese crostini.
