Slate-driven, delicately off‑dry Riesling with lime, green apple, white peach, herbs and wet-stone minerality. Bright acidity balances a light residual sweetness, finishing long and precise with a saline, citrus-kiss.

Production Method
Hand-harvested grapes from Graacher Himmelreich; gentle low‑pressure pressing, cool stainless‑steel fermentation with native yeasts; light lees contact and bottled with Kabinett-level residual sugar.
