Schloss Ortenberg 2016 Klingelberger (Riesling) Alte Reben (Baden)
Riesling accounts for 25% of the estate’s vineyards, which enables them to make the selections necessary to single out this top cuvée. Its greenish tinge is a reassuring entrée to the unmistakable, fine Riesling scent. What marks this wine is its finesse, not its power (it sports a mere 12% alcohol). But the minerality is ringent!

Notes from the Producer: The name "Klingelberger" is the only synonyme existing for the grape-variety "Riesling" and is only used in the south of the Ortenau in Baden. It describes the local expression of Riesling which is fruit-driven, elegant, mineral and not to strong in acidity.
