Königsbacher Heidböhl
VDP.ERSTE LAGE


For a long time we have been wanting an Erstes Gewächs from Königsbach. In addition to Kapellenberg and Reiterpfad, we are therefore very happy about the Riesling from Königsbacher Heidböhl. Here we were able to take over a vineyard planted in 1995. The Heidböhl continues the VDP.Grosse Lage Idig to the east towards the Rhine plain. It has a slightly shallower slope to the south and is therefore a little bit cooler than its big brother. The soil consists of a mixture of cploured sandstone and limestone and gives the wine the spiciness and stony minerality which is typical for Königsbach, while being somewhat slimmer than Idig and Ölberg-Hart. It is a fantastic complement to the cool, mineral Gimmeldinger and the more yellow-fruity Ruppertsberger VDP.Erste Gewächs in our range.
