Bischel Appenheimer Hundertgulden Riesling Grand Cru dry, 75cL WineBy Winebuyers

This Bischel 2020 Appenheimer Hundertgulden Riesling Grand Cru is a dry wine with aromas of fresh peach and apricot, as well as spice and a little tea. After further aeration in the glass, it reveals full sweet dense fruit. The wine has a long finish with cool smoky minerality. The grapes come from an old vineyard in Bischel's VDP.Grosse Lage Appenheimer Hundertgolden, where limestone and marl formed from the coral beds of the tertiary primeval sea characterise the soil. The steep, south-west facing slope, with its high carbonate content, allows the grapes to fully ripen very slowly, producing wines with razor-sharp minerality and clarity. The wine is made using a very late harvest, with grapes selected by hand according to ripeness. The grapes are gently crushed in the winery and left to stand in their own juice for a few hours. After gentle pressing, the must ferments with the vineyard's own yeasts. After eight months of maturation, the wine was bottled. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
