Salz der Erde | Salt of the Earth

After such a positive reception from the Albariño, they decided to broaden their horizons with a new addition to the Salt of the Earth range. On their mission for another grape that offers a true reflection of its terroir, a Riesling seemed like the next logical step. Roping in Theresa from top Rheingau estate Georg Breuer for help, ‘Salz der Erde’ was produced, with creative influence from Ben, Jamie and Daniel. Grapes are sourced from cool, south-west facing sites around the village of Lorch – the westernmost village in Rheinghau. The two vineyards – Krone and Kapellenberg – are at slightly different altitudes, Krone has slatey soils, while Kapellenberg soils are more quartzite. The parcels are vinified separately in stainless steel and neutral German oak, before blending and aging for ten months on lees in barrel. This is a crisp, laser-cut Riesling with lemony acidity and stony minerality that work together in perfect synergy.
