Riesling Kreid Weingut Rings 2020, 75 cl

In 2018, the Rings brothers produced their first Riesling Kreid, conceived as a tribute to their father. It comes from a prime section of the Saumagen vineyard, the old "Kreidkeller" plot. The vines, over 30 years old, grow on white limestone with iron-rich red soil in the subsoil, directly adjacent to the forest, benefiting from a cool microclimate. This Riesling is pure and bone-dry, just as the Rings father liked it. A large, complex, and concentrated wine that needs some time to open up or should be decanted: strong structure, firm palate, delicate creaminess (from aging on the lees), slightly smoky, hints of white peach and yellow stone fruit, white pepper and blackcurrant, herbal, citrusy, and mineral, with a cool, maritime character. You can practically taste the terroir on your tongue. Very small production, extremely limited availability.
