Selective manual harvest involving several runs through the vineyard. Destemming followed by natural sedimentation to clarify the juice, then wild-yeast fermentation in stainless steel (40%) and oak casks (60%). Subsequent maturation on the fine lees until July.
Open, fruit-driven nose with peach aromas, subtle yellow-fruit notes and a fine hint of exotic fruit. Delicate and refined. Great finesse and elegance. On the palate, this is a wonderfully energetic Riesling, with an assertive mid-palate underpinned by structure and tension. The finish feels ripe and balanced, showing slightly candied fruit characters, immense purity and impressive length.
The Kalkofen grand cru in Deidesheim encompasses five hectares, of which 1.1 hectares are farmed by Weingut Bassermann-Jordan. Its name comes from a lime kiln ('Kalkofen') located there back in the 15th century. The soil consists of limestone, loess-loam and marl clay.
