Aromas of lime and citrus, apple and black currant, balanced with ripe acidity and stony mineral notes. Very fresh and classy. Elegance and lightness with 7,5 % alcohol. The Saarstein estate is a prestigious monopole site on the Saar river, a tributary of the Mosel. Husband and wife team Christian and Andrea Ebert own and manage the estate; Christian is the winemaker and Andrea does the marketing. The soil is mostly blue Devonian slate that lends a distinct mineral note and steely acidity to the wines. The vineyards are steep and located directly along the river, allowing for morning fog to cool the grapes and allow for slow, healthy maturation. The Eberts focus on Riesling but also produce a small amount of high quality Pinot Blanc.
