Salz der Erde comes from two vineyards in Lorsch. Sixty percent is from an elevated site in the quartzite-rich slate soils of Kapellenberg, vinified in stainless steel. This provides a mineral, stony, and salty structure to the wine. Forty percent is from Krone, a warmer site with pure slate soils. Krone is vinified in an oak fuder. It’s a racy, dry Riesling packed full of pithy citrus fruits, with wonderful textural balance that makes it inviting and very drinkable.
