Kahlenberg Riesling

A Riesling with backbone: lean, mineral, with an acidity structure that initially seems silky and then increasingly builds pressure – exactly what makes a good 2019 vintage.

The In den Zehn Morgen winery cultivates its Kahlenberg Riesling in a single vineyard site, which imparts a distinct mineral character to the wine. The name refers to a historical unit of measurement – ​​a nod to the long-standing winemaking tradition in which this wine is rooted.

In the glass, it displays crisp fruit, spicy notes with a hint of curry, and a subtle salinity on the finish that makes it very drinkable. The texture is silky and elegant, the body lean and present – ​​not a heavyweight, but a wine with energy and verve.
