Messmer, ‘Einzig & Artig’, Riesling Trocken

Pfalz | Germany

A fine Riesling with good depth and complexity from extended lees ageing showing concentrated lime and granny smith apple fruit and pithy acidity. Delicious!

About the Producer

Grapes are sourced from Riesling vines cultivated in the Burrweiler Schawer, which has steep slopes and grey slate soils. Slate is unusual in the Pfalz region and only extends around 6 hectares in total. On the south-east slopes it stores the sun’s heat, and at night this is passed to the vine roots. After hand-harvesting and selection spontaneous fermentation occurs and the wine spends 2 years on lees.

Food Pairing

Try this with Asian style pork or poultry dishes.
