Bischel 2022 Binger Riesling Premier Cru dry, 75cL WineBy Winebuyers

This Riesling Grand Cru is very punchy and taut, with fresh fruit flavours and salty hints that let the character of the quartzite rock fully come to life. The high concentration and polished acidity give the wine class and length. Aromas of flint, wild herbs, and citrus fruits fill the nose. The grapes come from Bischel's top vineyard, the Binger Scharlachberg, which has very warm, steep slopes with quartzite and slate soil. This unique terroir promotes the ripening of extremely small-berried, aromatic Riesling grapes, resulting in an explosive aroma reminiscent of flint. The wine is made using a late harvest, where the grapes are picked by hand according to ripeness, and then gently crushed and left to stand in their own juice for a few hours before gentle pressing. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
