Enkircher Zeppwingert - Riesling Auslese noble sweet- Villa Huesgen 2020

This particularly noble wine is made from hand-picked and specially selected grapes. A long-aged Riesling with distinct aromas of mirabelle plum, apricot and peach, citrus fruits and a hint of passion fruit in the background. Very well balanced with an excellent finish, a fine sweetness and juicy fruit. A wine with great depth and length, a fine sweetness and crisp acidity.
Site: The single vineyard Zeppwingert (Wingert being the oldest German term for land planted with vines) is located on the Starkenburg slope and is characterised by a very quartzite-rich and iron-rich slate soil. This steeply sloping site with pure southern exposure has particularly old, rootless vineyards with low yields that produce powerful Rieslings with a lot of expression.
Cultivation: Mainly single vineyard, no herbicides, sustainable viticulture.
Vinification: Stainless steel, gravity principle, cold fermentation, spontaneous fermentation, with longer maceration time
Ageing potential: 25 years plus
Goes well with: Foie gras, mature blue cheese, with desserts such as crème brulée or lukewarm apple crumble.
