2017 Riesling, C.O. Liquid Earth, Battenfeld Spanier, Rheinhessen, Germany

Riesling's twin peaks are its intense perfume and its piercing crisp acidity which it manages to retain even at high ripeness levels.

Battenfeld Spanier, located in the Rheinhessen region of Germany, was founded by the husband-and-wife team of Hans Oliver Spanier and Carolin Spanier-Battenfeld. Their passion for winemaking and a solid commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices have been central to their philosophy since they took over the estate in the late 1990s.
