Von Win 2022 Riesling Kalkofen – Terroir-Driven Elegance from Pfalz’s Historic Vineyard

Nestled in Germany’s sun-drenched Pfalz region, this Riesling hails from the iconic Kalkofen vineyard—a site renowned since 1828 for producing exceptional white wines. Crafted on a south-facing plateau (185–200 meters elevation) with unique limestone-rich soils interwoven with loess-loam and marl clay, this wine embodies the mineral-driven character of its terroir. Protected by ancient sandstone formations and受益 from warm microclimates with low rainfall, the grapes achieve perfect ripeness while retaining vibrant acidity.

Why This Riesling Stands Out:
✅ Historic Terroir: Grown on ground once used for 15th-century limestone kilns (Kalkofen), where chalky subsoils impart zesty salinity and layered stone fruit flavors.
✅ Organic Integrity: Produced using biodynamic farming methods free from synthetic chemicals, ensuring purity from vine to bottle.
✅ Balanced Profile: Bright citrus and green apple notes contrast with subtle honeyed undertones, all anchored by a crisp mineral finish (13% ABV).

Perfect as an aperitif or paired with spicy cuisine/seafood dishes, this medium-dry Riesling showcases Pfalz’s ability to rival top white wine regions globally. Limited availability due to small organic yields—order now to experience centuries of winemaking tradition bottled in one versatile German classic.
