A highly mineral, yellow-fleshed and precise Riesling from a cult location in the Palatinate. The taste and aromas are as full of character as the soil on which the vines stand. Powerful, salty Riesling with a mineral structure, yet rich in finesse with intense scents of vineyard peach, apricot, sweet melon and mango, backed by the typical herbal spice of Saumagen Rieslings.
