Markus Schneider One Liter Riesling

A Riesling in liter format — this is not a compromise, but a statement: good wine for everyday life, without any fuss. Markus Schneider from Ellerstadt in the Palatinate stands for exactly that.

Schneider has made a name for himself in the Palatinate with wines that translate artisanal care into accessible bottles. The Palatinate provides the prerequisites for this: plenty of sun, deep soils made of sandstone and limestone, and Riesling sites that allow for freshness and substance at the same time. The liter Riesling is the estate's basic offering — intended for the table, not for the display case.

In the glass, it shows the typical Palatinate Riesling profile: aromas of citrus peel and white peach, a lively acidity that wakes up the palate, and a clean, slightly mineral finish. Not a heavy wine — rather lean, direct, easy-drinking. Serving temperature: 8–10 °C.

The ideal companion for an uncomplicated meal during the week: tarte flambée, fried zander, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or a summer salad with goat cheese. Best drunk young — the fruit is currently in the foreground.
