Named after the deep red hue of the iron-rich sandstone soils at Schödl’s plot in the town of Blumenthal, ‘Rote Erte’ (literally, “red soil”) is a tart, bone dry Riesling that teeters between beautiful citrus fruit and textured savory notes. Berries undergo a few hours of skin contact to extract flavor before gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel; wine is aged on fine lees for ~3 months before bottling.
A perfect food wine.
