The distinctive mineral notes reflecting their terroir and the aroma of ripe peach define the character of this Grand Cru. Additionally, the fine hints of citrus notes provide a pleasant tension on the palate. The crisp, but subtle acidity gives the wine its delicate structured body and truly animate to enjoy the next sip. Thanks to its lingering finish it allows and even longer enjoyment.Enjoy this great wine together with fine dishes as fish, vegetables or light meat. It is also a perfect match to creamy sauces. As concentrated as it is beautifully balanced, this sophisticated dry silvaner has a wonderful interplay of delicate citrus and tropical-fruit aromas with complex fennel and savory notes. Manages to avoid the weightiness that often afflicts high-end dry silvaner. In fact, it feels surprisingly light on its feet through the long, cool and polished finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap. The 2020 Iphöfer Julius-Echter-Berg Riesling VDP.Erste Lage opens with a still-closed and slightly reductive but intensely aromatic bouquet that still needs to develop to open up. On the palate, this is a rich and mouth-filling yet straight, fine, piquant and finely grippy Riesling with lingering salinity and fine mineral expression. Aged entirely in stainless steel, this is a precise, modern classic that needs a year or two to gain further complexity.
