New Arrivals/Restock

"• Variety: Riesling • Region: Nahe • Vineyard: Mostly from Oberhäuser Leistenberg • Soil Type: Grey, carbon-laced decomposed argillaceous slate or 'tonschiefer' • Fermentation & Élevage: A combination of stainless & used large oak\n\nThis is the dry version of the Oberhäuser Leistenberg. The hill just to the left of the vineyard is called the Lemberg, and with the Leistenberg on the other side, these hillsides form a valley. Cold air from the Hunsrück blows through the area, passing by the Leistenberg making it impossible for botrytis to develop. Further, the exposition is southeast rather than due south like the Hermannshöhle. This means longer ripening and lower potential alcohol, perfect for Kabinett style wines. Tonschiefer means ""clay slate"", so named for the soil that dominates the vineyard. This is the original vineyard for the family and holds a very special place."
