Fleckstein «Stained Stone»
Once again, the power of limestone is revealed through a flourishing grape variety, breaking the mold of petrol-scented Riesling. It emanates fruit, amplitude, and a gentle aromatic breadth, underscored by a dense salivation reflecting the clay soils. This gives way to a distinctive, crystalline, almost metallic minerality, leading to beautiful bitterness and the typical horizontality of limestone soils.
