Riesling Gimmeldingen - Village wine
Exhibitor
Weingut Peter Stolleis, Inh. Hans-Christoph Stolleis
The grapes for this Riesling come from our premier Gimmeldingen vineyards (Biengarten, Kapellenberg, Mandelgarten) – partly from younger plots and partly from the early harvest. The wine is characterized by its origin: the red sandstone typical of Gimmeldingen and the “limestone islands” of Biengarten and Mandelgarten. This ping-pong game between red sandstone and limestone-rich origins makes for an exceptionally exciting wine. Added to this is the cool evening breeze from the Gimmeldingen valley, which quickly cools the grapes during the ripening period, thus preserving their characteristic acidity. Together, this results in an expressive wine with aromas of citrus fruit and vineyard peach, complemented by a fine acidity that provides structure and aging potential.
