Lucashof Weissburgunder Trocken - 2022 (750ml)
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 level. 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!
Winemaker Notes:Â This wine is lively and delicately fruity with subtle acidity. Pleasant and uncomplicated, the well-rounded mouthfeel allows it pair with all types of cuisines. Try it with seafood, game, meat, or poultry. It is elegant and at the same time profound and complex, making it delightfully easy to continue to sip and savor glass after glass.
87 points Wine Enthusiast
Very floral, showing daisy, honeysuckle and orchard blossom notes, with pretty lime at the core. It is quite easy to sip on with a moderately long finish. — Aleks Zecevic
