Rings Kallstadt Saumagen Riesling GG

The Saumagen is the most famous site in Kallstadt – and Rings is one of the wineries that consistently exploits its potential. This Riesling bears the GG seal of the VDP: dry, site-specific, without compromise.

The brothers Andreas and Steffen Rings manage their Palatinate sites with a clear focus on expression of origin. The Saumagen is located on calcareous marl soils, which give the Riesling its characteristic tension – a combination of fullness and cool minerality that is not a matter of course in the Palatinate.

In the glass, a taut, precise Riesling is revealed: lime peel, green apple and a hint of fresh mint on the nose, underpinned by a subtle limestone tone. On the palate, dense fruit pulp, firmly integrated acidity and a long, salty-mineral finish. Not a lush Palatinate Riesling, but a precise one.
