Bischöfliche Weingüter Trier Eitelsbacher trocken

Origin: Ruwer. When slate blushes, iron is at play. And you can find that in the narrow valley of the Ruwer, for example in the Schieferberg of Eitelsbach. This shapes the wine. It has an aroma of dark, fully ripe cherries and currants and delights with earthy, spicy tones. At the same time, it tastes surprisingly delicate and is pleasantly light thanks to a moderate alcohol content. A dry wine whose fruit melts on the tongue. VINEYARD SITE: The Eitelsbach was originally called Eisenbach, as attempts were made for a long time to mine iron ore not far from the mouth of the Ruwer. Therefore, it is not surprising that the slate mountain is clearly traversed by ore veins. In the places where the rock reaches the surface, it shimmers reddish and almost a little mysteriously. VITICULTURE: Centuries of experience in viticulture, then as now, a great deal of manual work by people with a feeling for nature, soil, weather, vines, and Riesling. The result: First-class wines with quality and style! VINIFICATION: Selective harvest, gentle grape processing, and fermentation in stainless steel form the basis of this local dry wine. It rests on the fine lees until the spring of the year following the harvest, is sensory-perfectly monitored throughout, and bottled after being released by our cellar master. SERVING TEMPERATURE: Well chilled at 8-10°C.
