Wine: On the nose the Kalkofen shows typical Riesling aromas such as citrus and
stone fruit, as well as some chalky notes. The fruit is very fresh, with bright
nuances of peach and fresh apple. On the palate, this Riesling Grand Cru has a
gripping acidity with a fine minerality.

Vineyard: Bassermann-Jordan's Kalkofen-based vineyard is in the Pfalz region of
Germany. The oldest part of their vineyard was planted in 1968. It is from these
vines, the grapes for their "Grosses Gewächs Kalkofen" originate. The vineyard
is slightly inclined and south-facing, providing good growing conditions.


Viticulture: The grapes were hand selected and gently pressed. Bottling took
place in July, until then the wine remained on the lees to give it more depth
and complexity.
