Von Winning Pechstein Riesling Grand Cru 2016

Von Winning Pechstein Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2016 presents itself as an expression of the Palatinate Grand Cru in the heart of Deidesheim. The traditional Von Winning winery cultivates the vines directly on the slope of the Pechstein vineyard, where volcanic soil structures lend the wine deep mineral expressions and guarantee long-term aging potential. The 2016 vintage represents a powerful cut that combines both fruit and mineral complexity. Visually, the wine impresses with a crystalline yellow-green, while the bouquet deeply draws into the nose. Connoisseurs appreciate the balance between sweet character and fresh acidity.

The mouthfeel is characterized by melt-in-your-mouth quality and long persistence, with the finish dominated by anise and salinity. Experts assume that the wine is already drinkable upon release, but will only reach its full potential with several years of bottle aging. The optimal drinking window is expected to extend until 2035. As a perfect culinary combination, critics recommend this dry wine with grilled seafood or game dishes with dark sauces. Hard cheeses also harmonize well with this wine, ideally with high-fat cheese dishes or smoked salmon.
