Schlossbockelheim

Helmut sees 2009 as a seminal year for dry/trocken German wines. He recounts that ten years ago the customer & consumer was not prepared to pay for premium fruit with which to make a dry wine, so hence Helmut picked accordingly. Now they are, he does; the result being a focused yet gentle wine, ripe with lemon, lime, even grapefruit flavours, backed with a hint of smokiness that rises from Felsenberg’s volcanic soils. Relish the scintillating lime tang & savour the wine’s ripe fluidity. 5 grams RS. Drinking now till 2019.

Scintillating purity characterizes this fine dry wine (6 grams of residual sugar) that proves that delicious German trockens, thanks in part to climate change, are now more than just a fad. Drinking now till 2020.
