{"product_id":"riesling-trocken-bergkloster-natural-wine","title":"Riesling Trocken 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eBergkloster's Riesling Trocken is a skin-contact white from the Wonnegau, the southernmost and warmest sub-region of Rheinhessen. Grapes come from the village of Westhofen, where the Bergkloster collective vineyard site sits on a patchwork of loess, marl, limestone, and clay soils. A portion of the fruit is fermented on skins while the remainder is pressed directly, giving the wine its amber hue and gentle textural grip without overwhelming tannin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Jason Groebe ferments with native yeasts, ages the wine in large oval oak for approximately nine months on the full lees, and bottles it unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfites. The approach has been in place since 2018, when Jason began the low-intervention transition of the family estate. The vineyards have been farmed organically since 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the palate the wine is dry (Trocken) with pronounced acidity typical of Riesling from calcareous Wonnegau soils. Skin contact adds texture and pulls out additional aromatic complexity — apricot, orange peel, and citrus zest alongside a mineral backbone. It is a genuine departure from the conventional German Riesling archetype and one of the few skin-contact Rieslings produced in Rheinhessen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bergkloster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39754707599559,"sku":"BERGRIES18C","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/bergkloster-riesling-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186228","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/riesling-trocken-bergkloster-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
