Description
Making wines in both Mosel and in the Pfalz, winemaker Andreas Bender displays an unerring capacity to create a compelling balance of fruit and acidity. In his work philosophy Bender combines high quality, a sense of good soils and premium grapes, gentle cellar work, old vineyard crafts and new, modern “wine-thinking.”
Made only in exceptional years, this wine is made from grapes harvested from vines planted on a single steep vineyard around Leiwen. Fermented with natural yeasts and aged in neutral oak barrels, it is deep gold in colour and has aromas of candied lemons, poached pears, wet slate, and honey.
