wine description
2021 ÖLBERG-HART Riesling GG
VDP.GROSSE LAGE®: 2021 Neustadter ÖLBERG-HART Grosses Gewächs | dry
The centerpiece of the Ölberg location in Königsbach around the Ölberg Wegkapelle was classified as a VDP.Grossen Lage in 2013. It is one of the absolute top locations in the Palatinate that is already in the Kgl. Bay. Soil evaluation of 1828 was ranked among the best. For several years we harvested our auction wine in the oldest part of the Gewann. Now the then still younger vines have reached a good age, so it is time to press a Riesling GG from the entire win.
The soil is characterized by tertiary marl limestone, the so-called terra fusca. In the topsoil this is mixed with red sandstone rubble that was washed down from the Haardt Mountains over many thousands of years onto the Mittelhaardt hills. The vineyards are located quite high on the edge of Haard at the exit of the Klaus valley of the Palatinate Forest. This means that the vineyard is in the sun early in the morning. In the evening after a hot day, the vines can recover quite early in the shadow of the mountains and at night there is also a cool stream of air from the valley. All of this leads to dense, complex, but always filigree wines with great minerality.
The Ölberg wines show the typical Palatine peach and apricot aromas in a very reduced form. The aroma is carried by delicate, reductive flint aromas and a great minerality that gives the wines a deep, serious elegance. Of course, it already gives great pleasure with its youthful aromas, but the wine only reveals its true quality after a few years of bottle storage.
As a rule, the early-ripening grapes that are used in the VDP.Gutswein are read aloud. The actual harvest of the VDP.Grossen Gewächses then takes place in a further pass, whereby the grapes are harvested under strict selection exclusively from fully ripe, small-berried and healthy grapes at the optimal time in each case.
The yields here are usually only 40 hl / ha, so that the grapes achieve an optimal fullness of taste. The berries, gently transported to the press house as whole grapes, are mashed and then pressed gently and slowly after a not too long maceration time of 3-6 hours. The must is only slightly clarified by sitting overnight and then fermented spontaneously with the vineyard's own yeast. Unadorned and untreated, the wine matures on the yeast and fine yeast for a long time until it is bottled in classic wooden barrels.
