Riesling SCHLOSS CASTELL 2020 (Bocksbeutel, dry white)

The SCHLOSS CASTELL Riesling 2020 comes from the best terroir of Castell and represent local quality blends. This Riesling is fresh, fragrant and has a lovely mineral acidity.

Grape

Castell archives reported that the Riesling was already cultivated in 1832 in Castell vineyards. Riesling is a classic German grape and is demanding as it ripens very late. Optimal conditions are provided in Castell by the heat-storing stony steep slopes. Because of their relatively high acidity, Riesling can have a very good shelf life (try also our 2007 Riesling Dry SCHLOSSBERG GG).

Winemaking

Selective hand-picking on 1^st and 2^nd October with 93° Oechsle, temperature-controlled fermentation at 18-20°C, kept on the yeast for five months in stainless steel tanks.
