Riesling Hochäcker Privat, 1 ÖTW

Classification: 1ÖTW (Premier Cru) 

The steep terraces of the Hochäcker vineyard face south west, gaining fabulous sun exposure across the 305-375m high slope. The vineyard is separated only by a wall from the iconic Pellingen vineyard.

The mica schist soils provide optimal conditions for the cultivation of Riesling, giving the wines their signature mineral characteristics, their juicy stone fruits, as well as structural substance and a long life.

The wine has a delicate scent of lemon citrus, stone fruit, and peach blossom, with smoky, mineral tones of flint and schist. On the palate expect lively citrus acidity, with powerful, high mineral extracts and a long finish.
