2024 Weingut Knewitz Riesling Rheinhessen, Germany

$26.99

Young and old Riesling vines  from various vineyards in  the Welzbach Valley around 
Appenheim, Nieder-Hilbersheim and Gau-Algesheim.  The sites are located on  the slopes of the Westerberg, characterized by white  limestone, clay marl and  iron-bearing soils derived  from a prehistoric coral 
reef over 40 million years  ago.

Certified organic farming  DE-ÖKO-039. In the vineyard,  we ensure a perfect equilibrium between vine and soil. 
We work in dialogue with  nature: Our own compost, gentle soil care and plenty of manual labor, such as  targeted shoot reduction and  selective defoliation shortly  before the harvest. 

Selective grape harvest  in September 2025. Gentle  pressing, natural fermentation, and maturation predominantly in stainless steel  tanks, complemented by about  one-quarter in traditional  wooden barrels. Bottling in  March 2026.
Brilliant light yellow in  the glass with a multi-layered bouquet of apricot,  pear, quince and orange 
zest, complemented by lemon  balm, flint and a fine smoky  spiciness. Vinified dry, with  a taut, gripping acidity and  a slender, precise body. Fine  tannins lend grip to the finish, which is fruit-driven and salty-fresh. A Riesling  of great drinking pleasure  and clear origin from the  Welzbach Valley.
