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.

Indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation and the wine spends 12 months in barrel before being blended and bottled. Great persistence in the mouth, this wine has a wonderful freshness to it and can be enjoyed in it's youth.
