Am Lumpen 1655 Riesling GG trocken - Weingut Zur Schwane

The Am Lumpen 1655 Riesling GG from Weingut Zur Schwane in Franconia shows a bright, light yellow color in the glass. If you give it some air in the wine glass by swirling, you can perceive a perfect balance in this white wine, because it stands out neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. The bouquet of this white wine from Franconia delights with hints of banana and applesauce. It is precisely its fruity nature that makes this wine so special.

On the palate, the Am Lumpen 1655 Riesling GG from Weingut Zur Schwane starts wonderfully aromatic, fruity and balanced. On the tongue, this balanced white wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. Due to its present fruit acidity, the Am Lumpen 1655 Riesling GG is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of Franconia, which can be stored well, finally inspires with considerable length. Again, hints of apple sauce and banana appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the limestone-dominated soils join in.
