Riesling Fuchsentanz 2018

Description

Fuchsentanz is a beautiful composition of cool and warm elements: the gravelly soils lend it citrusy notes whereas the loess contributes apricot aromas. Some years, the wine has a touch of residual sugar, but in principle it is a dry Riesling with high acidity, meant for drinking pleasure.

Vineyard

Why the name “Fuchsentanz” (“Fox Dance”)? It was inspired by the German expression which directly translates to “where Fox and Rabbit say goodnight”, in other words, a remote place out in the sticks. And that is exactly how we would describe our often quite tranquil region. This extremely drinkable Riesling hails from a gravelly site and a loess-rich Southern slope. In October the grape bunches are hand-picked and then pressed whole in order to conserve the lean and delicate character of the wine. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is left on the lees until bottling in Spring or early Summer.
