{"product_id":"riesling-zeller-kreuzberg","title":"Riesling Zeller Kreuzberg","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Riesling that shows what limestone and south-facing slopes can do: precise acidity, clear minerality, not an ounce of fat too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003eSchwedhelm winery\u003c\/strong\u003e cultivates its vines in the \u003cstrong\u003eZeller Kreuzberg\u003c\/strong\u003e vineyard at an altitude of approximately 240 meters – soils of limestone and clay loam, slopes of up to 27%, consistently facing south. This combination ensures slow, even ripening and a restrained minerality that is immediately noticeable in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The wine was vinified with meticulous care: hand-harvested with pre-selection, eight hours of skin contact for texture and depth, spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and lees aging until the end of May. No oak, no frills – the focus is on the fruit and the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, it shines bright and clear. The nose reveals nectarine, lemon zest, and a hint of white peach. On the palate, a firm, precisely defined acidity dominates, supported by the limestone minerality – the finish is salty, long, with a slight stone fruit echo. No residual sugar to distract from the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eServing suggestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–12 °C. Drinkable now, but will easily keep until 2028. Pairs well with grilled pike-perch with herb butter, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or a mature goat cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Schwedhelm","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":53019811381584,"sku":"VJ0926-2023","price":14.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/65035223_2601_ohneJg.png?v=1779112936","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/riesling-zeller-kreuzberg","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
