Pfeffingen Pfeffo Riesling Kabinett (75cl, 11.5%)

A German Prädikatswein from the Pfalz region, bottled at 11.5% ABV in a 750ml format. The vineyards sit on rare terra rossa soils with chalky subsoils, with low yields and predominantly hand-harvested grapes. The vintage is 2019. The nose opens with mineral notes and lemon zest, then stone fruit and white blossom. The palate shows sweet grapefruit and ripe peach with racy acidity, finishing long and clean with citrus, mineral and a delicate off-dry sweetness.
