2023 Deidesheimer Mäushöhle Riesling dry

A decidedly ripe aroma of Braeburn apple, Williams pear and a little orange. On the palate, there is a brief burst of the crisp acidity typical of Mäushöhle, but this is quickly harmoniously captured by a great deal of smoothness and a trenchant wood finish.

The VDP.Erstes Gewächs® can be most easily compared to the French Premier Cru in Burgundy. VDP.Erstes Gewächs® wines are the dry wines from our classified top sites from VDP.Erste Lage®. These sites must undergo a new test that confirms their site quality and wine quality. Our VDP.Erstes Gewächs® wines hardly differ from a Grosses Gewächs® in terms of yields and ageing, site/location is the only difference.

Soil:
The vineyard rests in a hollow with an opening to the east. Due to this factor, along with the stream ditch- which ensures a good water supply, the Mäushöhle benefits immensely in times of climate change. Due to the removal of forest soil, the vineyard in the Mäushöhle is very enriched with humus, explaining the density of the wine.
