2016 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling dry "Telmo Rodriguez"

This wine is the result of the friendship between Erni Loosen and Telmo Rodríguez. Based on their curiosity and respect for each other's wine culture, this wine was created.
In winemaking, old practices that were practiced on the Moselle 100 years ago and were then described as "purely natural" have been revived.
However, Telmo encouraged Erni to do things differently: The wine was fermented on the skins in the tradition of natural/orange wines. After fermentation, it remained on the skins for maceration for several months and was then gently pressed in a basket press before being transferred with the lees into a traditional oak barrel, in which one of Telmo's best Rioja wines had already been produced.
The wine remained in the barrel on the lees for two years, only topped up, without any bâtonnage.
After bottling, the wine matured for another two years in the bottle before being released to the market.
This wine combines the “memory” of Spain and the tradition of Germany.
