Bischel Binger Scharlachberg Riesling dry, 75cL, Dry White WineBy Winebuyers

This dry Riesling slowly releases mineralic notes like flint and wild herbs, followed by exotic aromas, such as sweet apricot, passion fruit, lime and other citrus fruits which develop with more exposure. The wine has a very long, structured and lasting finish. The grapes were from one of Bischel's top sites - Binger Scharlachberg, a very warm and terraced vineyard characterised by its quartzite and slate rich soil. The soil has a high concentration of iron which leads to a red glowing vineyard in the summer. Poor water penetration of this barren stony ground reduces the growth of the vines and enhances the ripening process of the extreme small tasty Riesling berries. The very late harvest of the extremely ripe grapes is done by hand in stages of ripeness. Optimal extraction of aromas is being achieved by pressing the grapes straight after picking and letting them rest for a few hours at the winery. This white wine is suitable for both men and women.
