White

An organic producer based in the Mittelhaardt region of Pfalz, run by brothers Steffen and Andreas Rings and currently operating across 35ha of vineyards. The Saumagen site is at 160m-200m, with calcareous marl, loess-loam and limestone soils. The 2021 was handpicked from the Grosse Lage facing south/southeast, whole-cluster pressed and fermented using natural yeast, followed by ageing on lees, partially in large wooden casks, for 10 months. Caro Maurer MW: Very modern style, traces of flint, young and untouched. Slender and linear, with very clear and precise fruit. Persistent. An elegant and finesse-rich style. Mark Dearing: A clear soil profile here, intense vivid and crystalline spicy notes, but dialled up. Sophisticated blood orange and spice notes; complex and long. Stefan Neumann MS: Subdued at first, with dried floral highlights and a spicy undertone. More exotic fruits emerge, with fresh pineapple and sweet quince. Needs time.
