Riesling trocken - Weingut In den Zehn Morgen

Brilliant pale yellow with silvery reflections, the Dry Riesling - In den Zehn Morgen Winery sparkles in the glass. On the nose, a lively interplay of cool, crisp apple, delicate citrus zest and fine herbal notes unfolds. In the background, a hint of white blossoms lends elegance and depth to the aromatic profile.

On the palate, the wine is juicy, precise and refreshingly straightforward. Crisp acidity carries the apple character, while fresh herbs and a touch of wet stone add an invigorating accent. The body is slender, direct and highly focused, with a fine, almost crystalline grip. Tannin appears only as a subtle touch of phenolic texture, lending structure without obscuring the freshness.

Here, the Riesling grape from the Nahe presents itself in its purist, varietal form. The interplay of a cool climate, slate and quartzite soils, and meticulous cellar work produces a white wine that combines clarity and finesse. The style is dry, taut and precise, with clearly defined fruit expression and pronounced yet well-integrated acidity.

Production of the Dry Riesling from In den Zehn Morgen Winery

The grapes for this Riesling come from select vineyards along the Nahe, a region that unites diversity and richness of character. The climate features cool nights and sufficiently sunny days, allowing the grapes to develop pronounced aromatics and fresh acidity. The soils reveal a fascinating mosaic of slate, quartzite and, in places, loess-rich layers, giving the wine its mineral core.

The harvest is carried out selectively, with optimally ripe grapes transported to the winery in small batches. Careful hand-picking ensures ripe, aromatic berries with intact skins. Gentle pressing and quiet must clarification lay the foundation for this Riesling’s clear, precise style.

Fermentation takes place at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, keeping the fine fruit and herbal aromas at the forefront. Maturation on the fine lees gives the wine additional creaminess and balance without concealing its crisp acidity. The influence of oak remains deliberately in the background, allowing the character of the grape variety and the Nahe soils to shine undistorted.

The winemaker’s style is defined by an uncompromising dedication to clarity: clean fruit, precise structure, a slender alcohol content of 12.0% vol. and a long, direct finish. The Dry Riesling - In den Zehn Morgen Winery embodies a modern interpretation of the Nahe through traditional craftsmanship, focused on elegance rather than opulence.

As an aperitif, the wine provides a fresh opening; with festive menus, it accompanies fish courses or vegetable dishes with confident lightness. On summer evenings on the terrace, chilled Riesling creates a lively atmosphere, while on cooler days the wine shines at the table as an elegant accompaniment to food.

The ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius. Lightly chilled, the wine particularly clearly reveals its citrus freshness and crisp apple character. As the temperature rises, the bouquet opens up, the herbal notes become more pronounced and the wine feels rounder on the palate.

For storage, a cool, dark room with a consistent temperature is recommended. Storing bottles horizontally protects the cork and preserves their aromatic potential. Over several years, the Riesling develops additional mature and honeyed nuances, lending fascinating depth to the clear fruit. In this way, the Dry Riesling - In den Zehn Morgen Winery accompanies both spontaneous moments of enjoyment and special occasions across many vintages.
