Pechstein Riesling, Grand Cru, J. L. Wolf
Ref. 0280
From basalt rich soils (originally thought to be pitch or tar). There's a gentle, peachy and tropical nuance on the nose of this wine, with some spice and lemon zest. A little more generosity just sneaking through in this wine, with a herbal note again, some leafy qualities and plenty of white fruit and lemon acidity.

- Other info: Founded in 1756, the J.L. Wolf estate was a very successful and highly regarded winery for more than two centuries. It entered an especially glamorous era with the construction of its Italianate estate house and villa in 1843. In the latter years of the 20th century, however, the estate languished, lacking a firm hand to guide its wine production. Ernst Loosen, of the Dr. Loosen estate, took over the vineyards in 1996, launching a dramatic turnaround in the estate’s quality and reputation.
