2018 Villa Wolf Wachenheimer Belz Riesling Trocken

THE VINEYARDS OF WACHENHEIM
The village of Wachenheim lies at the center of the esteemed “Mittelhaardt” area of the Pfalz, which historically has been the source of the region’s finest wines. Here, the welldrained, weathered sandstone soils produce pure, fruit-driven wines with a distinctive stony character. The fruit for the Wachenheimer Riesling comes from a single-vineyard site, called Königswingert (“King’s Vineyard”), but is labeled only with the village name. This excellent site lies just to the north of the village and is rated as a premier cru vineyard.
