The Estate
Owned by Christine Lucas, sister to Nik Weis, this estate produces outstanding Riesling from important vineyard sites in the Pfalz. This estate was established over fifty years ago and has a much warmer climate than the Mosel with different soil. The resultant wines tend to be drier in style with a little bit higher alcohol levels. It is located in the Rhine valley and protected to the North and the West by the Hunsrueck Mountains. That’s what makes the climate there almost Mediterranean. The soil is heavier and less stony than in the Mosel. They don’t have slate like in the Mosel, they have volcanic, glacial and river sediments. The current vintage release of this wine is made from Organically farmed grapes!
Tastings Notes
An elegant, playful Pinot Noir that presents itself in the glass with a bright brick red color. The wine has a fruity note, accompanied by an intense bouquet reminiscent of ripe blackberries and cherries. The barrique storage of at least 18 months gives this Burgundy its power and fullness.
