GOTTELMANN Vom Roten Schiefer Riesling 2022 Bottle

Description

The estate is located in the town of Münster-Sarmsheim and is run by Goetz Blessing and his wife. The vineyards cover around 13.5 hectares and are planted with Riesling and Chardonnay. This family business works with nature and each vintage is carefully nurtured to produce the best flavours and terroir. Most of their wonderful wines are enjoyed in Germany, so we are delighted to be able to offer some of them in Jersey.

This dry Riesling comes from red slate soils and has aromas of red apple skin, peach and apricot. Its slight residual sugar is perfectly balanced by the wine's fresh acidity. The volcanic soil is slightly red in colour, which is an indication for iron, a substance that gives the wine its fruity aromas.

Hand picked in the middle of October, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured in large oak barrels.
Food recommendation: This white wine is the perfect accompaniment to light meat, lean pork and veal.
