Full-bodied, mineral Riesling wine with a fruit nose of great finesse
and classic acidity.
Viticulture
The sloping vineyards of the Leistenberg are characterised predominantly
by clay slate soils. This dry, blackish-grey slate is perfect
for producing superbly elegant wines. Our characterful dry Riesling
wines from these soils are therefore named after this ancient rock.
Tonschiefer translates as clay slate.
