2021 Deidesheimer Mäushöhle Riesling dry

The minerality of Mäushöhle almost jumps out of the glass, garnished with a hint of exotic melon and red peach. On the palate, a punchy minerality with plenty of grip combined with an invigorating acidity that remains almost endlessly on the tongue, making you crave the next sip.

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:
Variegated sandstone is the main feature in this site also, although the vineyard lies in a hollow opening to the east. The hollow lies at the end of a valley. Through the erosion of forest soil, the soil in the Mäushöhle vineyard is greatly enriched with humus, which explains the density of the wine.
