Schwedhelm Riesling Zellertal white wine vegan wine dry QbA Germany (12 x 0.75l)

• STORY: Hardly anything develops as much power as a vision that is rigorously implemented. Especially not when there are two brothers behind her. Standing side by side and determined to do anything.

• VINIFICATION: After the harvest, the selected grapes are macerated for 8 hours and then gently pressed. After spontaneous fermentation at low temperatures, the wine is bottled after 7 months of aging on the lees.

• AROMA: shaped by the barren soil, it has a clear minerality combined with a gripping acidity. Its fine fruit of citrus and stone fruit harmonises perfectly with its acidity.

• RATING: Its finish is enlivened by a saltiness that immediately encourages the next sip.

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: with fish dishes, also with an airy cream sauce, salmon in saffron sauce or char, with light or roasted meat or asparagus

Hardly anything develops as much power as a vision that is rigorously implemented. Especially not when there are two brothers behind her. Standing side by side and determined to do anything. After taking over their parents' winery, Stephan and Georg Schwedhelm work persistently to bring the Zellertal back to the top. In the meantime, the elite winegrowers, who have recognized the potential of the region, have also become aware of the Zellertal. The Schwedhelms cleaned up the valley's past uncompromisingly and their wines reflect this independence in the best sense of the word. They don't even try to fit into a grid. They simply taste like the Zellertal. The barren soils, massively interspersed with limestone and clay, ensure a cool, mineral and radiantly clear style, the Montrachet of Germany, so to speak. All vines are on a pure south-facing slope with an incline of up to 35 degrees and soak up plenty of sun. This gives the wines a mature fruit aroma and sufficient power and fullness. Rarely does one come across a collection in which each individual wine so clearly expresses the vision of its creators.
