Piri Naturel Riesling 2021

This is a truly rock n'roll Riesling! Imagine a trip back to summer. Elegant notes of tropical fruits tingle in your mouth. It feels like a meeting between passion fruit, pineapple, melon and lime. Grapes are left as whole bunches, half in small used barrels and half in stainless steel. The bunches are foot stomped and then gently pressed. Fermentation takes 6 months and after that the juice chills out for a bit further. 

Piri Wein has been run by Christine Pieroth’s family since 1781, in the Nahe region of Germany in Burg Layen. Christine decided to split off her line of wine under the Piri Naturel label, to show a distinction between the classic wines her family continues to make and her own line, focused on organic viticulture and natural methods in the cellar. Christine has been inspired by her own work in her vegetable gardens, and is becoming more and more interested in biodyanamic practices.
