2020 Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker Riesling dry

Only the best plots of Herrgottsacker are selected for our VDP.Erste Lage. In a 2005 planted fillet piece we harvest the grapes significantly yield-reduced. Among the VDP.Erste Lage our Herrgottsacker is always the tightest, the most meagre wine. Very straight and yet playful on the palate, delicate limestone
notes in the typical sandstone fruit. Grape Aroma, grip, structure – everything you need in a dry Riesling.

The VDP.Erstes Gewächs® can be most easily compared to the French Premier Cru in Burgundy. VDP.Erstes Gewächs® wines are the dry wines from our classified top sites from VDP.Erste Lage®. These sites must undergo a new test that confirms their site quality and wine quality. Our VDP.Erstes Gewächs® wines hardly differ from a Grosses Gewächs® in terms of yields and ageing, site/location is the only difference.

Soil:

We mainly harvest the grapes for our Herrgottsacker, which have a significantly reduced yield, from an approximately 0.5 hectare planted fillet plot. The soil is clearly characterized by red sandstone and loess, with isolated veins of limestone and good drainage.
