  June 24, 2021 - Great herbal Franconia Riesling wine, made up with selected grapes from the steepest parts of famous south-facing ‘Am Lumpen’ vineyard (located in the municipality of Escherndorf, about 20 kilometers northeast of the city of Würzburg). It is fermented with wild yeasts and then matured for ten months on its fine lees. Beautiful bright straw-yellow in color and a very complex nose displaying scents of green apple, orange peel, rhubarb and also some nuances of petrol and flint. Concentrated stone and citrus fruit on the powerful and well-balanced palate, laced with a really tangy acid structure and a steely minerality. Persistent spicy finish with intense mineral reverberations. This wine is still too young now and should develop nicely with 3–4 additional years of cellaring.
  
  Grootse, kruidige Riesling-wijn uit Frankenland, gemaakt van geselecteerde druiven uit de steilste delen van de beroemde 'Am Lumpen'-cru (een op het zuiden gerichte wijngaard gelegen in de gemeente Escherndorf, ongeveer 20 kilometer ten noordoosten van de stad Würzburg). De wijn werd gefermenteerd met wilde gisten en rijpte vervolgens tien maanden ‘sur lie’. Mooi, helder strogeel van kleur en een zeer complexe neus met aroma’s van groene appel, sinaasappelschil, rabarber en ook wat nuances van petrol en vuursteen. In de mond, een krachtige en fraai uitgebalanceerde wijn, vol geconcentreerd steen- en citrusfruit, en voortreffelijk geschraagd door een pittige aciditeitsstructuur en een stalige mineraliteit. Persistente, kruidige afdronk met intense minerale toetsen. Deze wijn is nu nog te jong en zal zich nog gedurende 3–4 jaar verder ontwikkelen.
