Description
This is a textbook Riesling, made from grapes grown on the slopes of the Haardt mountains. Folloing a long, cool ferment (lasting 2 months), the wine spent a further 6 months on lees wihtout batonnage until bottling. The result is a typically vibrant Riesling with stone fruit, citrus and Lime fruit characters on the nose. The intense and textured palate combines minerality and structure with zesty, crisp acidity and a vibrant, fruity finish.
Gerd Stepp grew up in Bad Dürkheim in the Mittelhaardt of the Pfalz. As a child he watched and helped his parents tend their vines and make wine. He would help them prune the vines, harvest the grapes by hand and – his favourite task – drive the tractor. Gerd always knew that wherever his career took him – and like so many of us he started in Oddbins in London – he would return home. Today, Gerd farms the family’s vineyards and runs the little winery, also buying some grapes from like-minded growers in the region. Having returned to Bad Dürkheim after making wines around the globe, his technical winemaking skills combined with commercial experience allow him to produce a range of wines which are both great value and especially good and true expressions of these grape varieties.
