Literweise Riesling feinherb - Weingut Hammel

The Literweise Riesling from Weingut Hammel in the Palatinate shows a bright, light yellow color when swirled in the glass. Poured into a white wine glass, this white wine from Germany reveals wonderfully youthful and fragrant aromas of orange, green apple, grapefruit, and lemon, rounded off by further fruity nuances.

On the palate, this well-balanced white wine is characterized by an exceedingly light and crisp texture. On the finish, this white wine from the Palatinate wine-growing region delights with good length. Once again, hints of green apple and grapefruit appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the soils dominated by gravel and sandstone join in.

Vinification of the Literweise Riesling from Weingut Hammel

This balanced white wine from Germany is vinified from the Riesling grape variety. In the Palatinate, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on sandstone and gravel soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery without delay. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
