Description

Product description for Peter Jakob Kühn Riesling Lenchen Auslese 2017 (bio)

Wine Information

The so-called Le(h)ne of the Pfingstbach stream once gave the Oestrich vineyard its name. The early morning mists of the flowing stream at the foot of the vineyard always ensure early morning mists. This promotes the spread of botrytis, which is why this site primarily produces noble sweet Rieslings.

Colour

Light golden yellow

Nose

The aroma of Lenchen is reminiscent of the scent of meadow orchards at harvest time. Some apples and pears have already fallen and, bursting open, exude their fragrance. There is also a hint of honey, but above all something exotic from the neighboring orangery. Citronelle, kumquats, and grapefruit can be found here alongside orchard fruit, but also some passion fruit that someone has rubbed over a stone slab.

Palate

With the challenging 2017 acidity, this Auslese shines on the palate. Both are kept absolutely in check. This allows the rich fruit of pome fruit, fresh and dried stone fruit, and exotic notes to remain suspended. The body is permeated by a fine, almost soft and creamy acidity. This is complemented by a dip of salt and rock. It’s wonderfully clear and elegant.
