Racy acidity harmonises with a very ripe fruit sweetness in this brilliant, marvellous Riesling. A Spätlese rich in character with deep, intense flavours reminiscent of wild cherries and alpine fern.

The oldest recorded vineyards of the Nahe are located in this part of the village of Norheim. Kirsche means “cherry”, so the age-old name of the site likely refers to the wild cherries that grow even today amidst the vines. The site faces due south and its soils are composed largely of grey slate mixed with sandstone. Monopole site situated right next to the river. Weathered rock, with gray slate bedrock covered with a layer of loess loam. With a perfect microclimate to promote world-class Botrytized Rieslings.

100% selective hand harvest.

Fermented and matured in stainless steel vats and large oak barrels.

"This stunning Nahe Spatlese is extremely pure and straight, with lemony acidity that lights up the barely medium-bodied palate. Barely off-dry, with stony notes on the very long and racy finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold."
