Odinstal | Pfalz | Riesling Muschelkalk | 2022 | 750ml | bio

Description

Wachenheim’s Odinstal lies at an altitude of up to 350m and is thus the highest single vineyard in the Mittelhaardt. The resulting somewhat cooler temperatures allow the grapes to ripen slowly. This results in very delicate, subtle aromas. The vineyards have been farmed organically since the early 1990s, and biodynamically since 2006. Johann Ludwig Wolf, mayor of Wachenheim, built the Odinstal vineyard at the beginning of the 19th century. The Hensel family acquired the winery in 1998 and, together with the congenial farm manager Andreas Schumann, has since then uncompromisingly focused on quality and authenticity. The geological faults caused by the volcanic eruption at Pechsteinkopf give the soils agreat variety, from mineral-rich basalt to mottled sandstone, shell limestone, and Keuper in a very small area.
