Description

Product description for Nikolaihof semicolon ; Riesling 2020 (bio)

Wine Info

In the context of semicolon, Katharina Salzgeber and Nikolaus Saahs explore the potential of Gewürztraminer and Riesling. How does the grape variety react when a different approach is chosen regarding harvest time, processing, and aging? Like the semicolon, which is not subject to any grammatical rules in terms of use and interpretation, but rather appeals to the esprit of both the writer and the reader, the wines shed the corset (of the familiar) and encourage the drinker to taste and sense their wines with confidence.

Wine Info

30% mash, 70% must; ten months of aging in used oak without fining, stabilization, filtration, or the addition of sulfur.

Colour

Deep golden yellow.

Nose

The 2020 Riesling semicolon has a primal and intense aroma, with dried meadow herbs, apple, apple peel, and wine yeast dominating the opening. It invites the carafe to open and unfold. With oxygen, further fruity notes of quince and floral notes of honeysuckle, chamomile, and elderflower emerge.

Palate

Precise, dry, and yeasty-spicy, the demanding palate reveals a whole new way of winemaking. A truly refreshing style that pairs perfectly with a purist, natural, and herb-influenced cuisine.
