Piercing minerality and crisp acidity on the nose, pronounced peach, herbal and bees wax aromas. A whiff of petrol lurking from behind. It is off-dry on the palate, perfectly balanced by its crisp acidity. A pronounced intensity of peach fruit introduces an incredibly long impression on the palate, which gradually becomes more herbal, turning slowly into spiced pear and finally ending in a distinctly mineral taste.
Excellent spicy food and blue cheeses.
Pechstein lies on the gentle east facing slope that extends from behind hte village of Forst up toward the Haardt Mountains. The name refers to the preponderance of black balsalt sontes in the soil, which give the wines a strong mineral backbone.The wine presents itself with wonderful mineral aromas, intense fruit, high density, light notes of ripe fruit and a long finish.
This Riesling is light yellow in colour. The nose is fresh and lively with white stone fruit, spice and pear. The palate is intense, with a long mineral streak, peach and pear fruit and firm, refreshing acidity that is benchmark riesling from this area.
Stony slate soil and numerous rocky outcroppings also hold the heat of the day and ensure full ripeness. Thin topsoil forces the vines to dig deep for nutrients producing intensely minerally and vibrant wines.The Bernkasteler Lay vineyard is situated around the estate house and directly along the Mosel just outside the village of Bernkastel, the Lay vineyard has somewhat gentler slope and richer slate soil than the estate's other vineyards. It producees a dense, creamy-textured Kabinett.
