2023 von Winning "Estate" Riesling Trocken, Pfalz, Germany
ABOUT THIS WINE
Intensive and sustainable work in the vineyard enables von Winning to harvest grapes of optimal balance for vinification without interfering with the winesâ inner structure. The vineyardâs layout in new high density plantings, for example, does not follow the machineâs design or âefficientâ cultivation methods. Out of demand for quality and tradition, the original viticultural principles reemerged, allowing the vineyards to regain the face of earlier times.
Fruit comes from multiple vineyards in Deidesheim. The vines are grown in limestone, loam, & red sandstone. The wine is vinified in stainless steel
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The fact that this estate is crafting some of the very best dry wines in Germany is no fluke, rather a result of nearly obsessive winemaker Stephan Attmanâs commitment to both dedicated cultivation of Deidesheim and Forstâs best sites and meticulous work in the cellar. Von Winning maintains some of the oldest parcels in Grosses GewĂ€chs vineyards smattered across Forst, Deidesheim, and Ruppertsberg. Attmanâs every decision is informed by great enthusiasm and experiences at estates in the Cote dâOr and abroad. For example, Attmanâs newer vines are planted at a very high vine density- 9500 vines per hectare, as opposed to the typically under 5000. This creates competition amongst the vines, forcing the roots to grow deep, naturally reducing yields. Attman has adopted the single cane trellising system, prevalent in Burgundy, and Grosses GewĂ€chs wines ferment in 500mL French barrels. Von Winning practices organic and sustainable viticulture.
Attman describes his winemaking as ânot doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.â The estateâs premium wines are treated with a minimalist approach and with the highest respect in the cellar. Gentle clarification, natural and spontaneous fermentation and the abandonment of fining agents create wines with a distinctive indigenous and very elegant style. Pumping the juice or wine is never necessary in the gravity flow winery, allowing for minimal, and gentle vinification.
