Description

Heymann-Löwenstein Schieferterrassen Riesling has won numerous international awards in the German Riesling category. Its name, "Schieferterrassen", which translates as "slate terraces", reflects the essence and character of this wine, which is grown in the Devonian slate layers of the Rittersturz hillside.

Winemaking

The grapes are pressed and vinified exclusively with wild yeasts, without any enzymatic additives or fining agents. The wine is fermented mainly in large oak vats. In addition to the classic dry wine profiles, sometimes, when the harvested fruit permits, a version with residual sugar is produced or enhanced by the champenoise method, resulting in the "Fantasie aus Schieferterrassen" (Slate Terrace Fantasy). On rare occasions, an 'orange' version of the wine is produced.

Taste

Heymann-Löwenstein Schieferterrassen Riesling is known for its distinctive taste and terroir character. The plots from which the grapes come have a slightly different taste, reflecting the diversity and richness of the terroir. The slate, rich in quartz, changes colour from grey to yellow-brown, which gives the wine its characteristic taste. With an average vine age of approximately 50 years, the wine combines tradition with innovation. Reviews describe it as a Riesling that begins where others end, with the power and authority of a great Alsatian wine, but with the beautiful floral quality found in Mosel wines. It is a delicate, elegant and mineral wine with an extraordinarily expressive body.
