2023 Deidesheimer Leinhöhle Riesling dry

Leinhohle as you know it. A cornucopia of ripe, yellow fruit: mirabelle plum and apricot with a fresh hint of lemon. Full-bodied, extremely juicy and round on the palate with moderate acidity. A pronounced phenolic character provides a powerful structure on the palate.

The VDP.Erste Lage is most easily compared to the French Premier Cru classification in Burgundy. VDP.Erste Lage consist of dry Rieslings from top, classified vineyard locations. From the yields and the development, our VDP.Erste Lage hardly differs from a Grosses Gewachs, the only difference is the individual location of the vineyards.

Soil:
Here too the site name gives the bearing. The women of Deidesheim used to use this warmest of sites to bleach their linen cloths. Its 100% south facing and sloped location mean that air temperatures of 50°C and more are not a rarity. Grapes that flourish here incorporate this heat, have mature fruit aromas and sophisticated, balanced acidity.
