Riesling Kallstadter Saumagen Kabinett Trocken

Riesling from the ‘grand cru’ site of Saumagen with its deep soils of loess, marl, and a high proportion of limestone. The estate owns 4ha on a south-east facing parcel with vines averaging 25 years. Natural fermentation in large old oak barrels 600 – 1200L in size with minimum 8 months on lees. The name, Saumagen, is in reference to the shape of the vineyard and is also a specialty sausage dish in the area.

Tasting Note: Aromas of lime peel, candied lemon, pineapple with white flower, crushed stone, and fresh herb on the nose. Elegant and dense on the palate with a good concentration of citrus fruit and saline notes, bright acidity, rounded texture, very good length on a stony finish. Dry.
