Kloster Eberbach Crescentia Wiesbadener Neroberg Riesling Trocken VDP Erste Lage

Grapes are sourced from this old, volcanic site in Wiesbaden - where vines have grown since the 15th century. The Neroberg vineyard is just 4 hectares, planted with 18 different Riesling clones - later ripening, and therefore the last in the vineyard to be picked. 20% of the wine is vinified in stainless steel, and 80% in 1,200 litre and 2,400 litre oak barrels, with ageing on fine lees for around 4-5 months.

'Intense and expressive nose packed with honeysuckle, bright citrus and lightly exotic notes. The palate is complex with ripe orchard fruit, lime characters and flinty minerality. Mouth-watering acidity and incredible length on the finish.'

Perfect with lightly fragrant Thai dishes, simply grilled fish or white meat.
