Steinbuckel Riesling Großes Gewächs 2018 - Knipser

The Knipser Steinbuckel Riesling is a large, top-class plant. This top wine comes into the glass with bright platinum yellow and golden reflections. The first nose shows ripe aromas of mirabelles, peaches, ripe citrus fruits, juicy yellow apple and some essential bergamot. Mineral nuances and a hint of mint and sage complete the bouquet of this noble large plant from the Laumersheimer Steinbuckel perfectly

On the palate, the large plant from the Laumersheimer Steinbuckel is extremely dense, firmly knitted and exceptionally mineral. The present acidity ensures freshness and length, while the discreet, harmoniously woven residual sweetness guarantees body and juice. A large crop from Knipser that is never greasy, but always well-tempered

Vinification of the Steinbuckel Riesling Large plant by Knipser

The grapes for this top Riesling from the Große VDP location Laumersheimer Steinbuckel thrive in the heart of the location, which is located right next to a limestone quarry that is out of operation, slightly inclined to the south and well ventilated. After selective hand-picking, 100% of the grapes are aged in traditional half barrels (600l) and in large barrels of 1500 litres volume. Subsequently, the large Steinbuckel plant from Knipser is allowed to refine on the fine yeast until July of the following year.
