Intense minerality freshened by wonderful fruity apple flavours. Off-dry on the palate but with good grapefruit acidity and an excellent finish.
A wine you can drink every day either with a good and solid meal or with a tasty cheese, a gratin dish with bacon, meat or seafood.
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.
Meaning 'The Little Staircase of Erden'. This vineyard is so steep that stone steps were built into the hillside centuries ago to enable workers to reach the vines. More a rock climber than a dancer, the wine that comes from this red slate soil is muscular and complex, with an intense minerality on the finish.The wine has lots of substance, peaches, hints of orange peel; very long with a harmonious, mineral finish.
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.
