100% Riesling taken from Nibiru’s top site in their home village of Thürneustift, the Goldnagel. The terraces Josef selects for this cuvée are the ‘youngest’ vines in the vineyard, at an average age of 40 years old (whereas 80+ year-old vines go into the top-tier ‘Amphibolit’ cuvée). Whole-cluster pressed, then spontaneously fermented in stainless steel, racked only once and kept on fine lees eight months, until bottling. 20ppm SO2 added in January. Unfined, unfiltered. A powerful wine for the price.

This riesling is soft, dusty, dry, and exhibits more herbal components than fruit- while still having a pleasant white grapefruit and floral palate.
