Deidesheim lime kiln 2022

The VDP.GROSSE LAGE® Riesling from the Deidesheimer Kalkofen is an exceptional top wine that combines tradition and innovation in a unique way. The hand-picked grapes come from one of the region's most traditional vineyards - the Deidesheimer Kalkofen.

The unique terroir of this slightly south-facing slope, which is surrounded by imposing sandstone walls, lends the wine an impressive minerality and complexity. The Riesling vines are around 30 years old and the grapes are carefully processed to capture the full finesse and depth of the terroir.

Typical Riesling aromas such as citrus fruit, stone fruit and a fine, chalky note unfold on the nose. The fruit aromas are fresh and lively, with bright nuances of lemon zest and green apple. On the palate, the wine impresses with gripping acidity, a taut, sparse structure and fine minerality. This lively balance creates a Riesling of great elegance and depth.

The Deidesheimer Kalkofen Riesling reveals its full potential as an accompaniment to seafood, poultry or spicy, hot dishes. But it is also a real treat for discerning wine lovers when enjoyed on its own.
