Stepp Single Cru Case, 2020
Lot
2687
Grape Variety
Producer
A smooth supple Riesling with fresh apple, lime and ripe white fruit aromas. A touch of residual sweetness is countered with balancing acidity. Königswingert, meaning “King’s Vineyard,” is a single Cru with mineral rich soils of alluvial stones and plenty of sandstones. It has got rich and deep subsoils where roots can find water and nutrients – which gives the wine an excellent elegance and a fine structure.
Stepp Riesling vom Fuchsmantel (Bad Durkheim) Single Cru Pfalz
Mineral in style rather than fruit aromas, it has a flinty character. On the palate sour yellow plum, apple and lemon flavours come out. A wine with substance and structure. The Stepp vineyard is located on the lower part of the Fuchsmantel site. Grapes were hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented with selected yeast. The wine remained “sur lie” for four months.
