Description

Clemens Busch Riesling "O" Skin Contact Unfiltered 2018

Grape Varietals & Region: Riesling from steep, terraced hills of blue, grey and red slate characteristic to Mose

Taste profile: Typical nose of German Riesling, and closer to the sweeter Kabinett style. Sweet strawberry and faint Fuji apples. But the skin contact introduces a stronger profile of wild honey. The first impression is that of tame sourness, similar to a lemonade or a citrussy wheat beer, with a faint mid-palate bitterness

Winemaking Process: Spontaneous fermentation without temperature control with medium skin contact. Unfiltered with a layer of fine lees that is meant to be mixed with the wine. No oak
