In 1812, the winery was named Von Winning, after Captain Leopold von Winning, one of its owners. Eighty percent of the vineyards are planted with Riesling, making it the estate's most important grape. Von Winning is also a kind of artist with the Riesling grape; they know how to make successful wines with it. Each vineyard within the Von Winning estate imparts new and unique aromas to the Riesling.
The grapes for Von Winning Riesling Ozyetra are planted on a small, exclusive Von Winning vineyard. The Pechstein vineyard is located in the village of Forst, just north of Deidesheim, and is considered the top vineyard in the Palatinate. The vineyards are therefore classified GroBe Lage, a high grand cru designation. The Pechstein terroir is particularly exceptional: basalt, sandstone, and loose loam create a unique flavor profile. After careful, hand-harvesting, the precious grapes are pressed and fermented in 500-liter wooden barrels. After fermentation, the grapes are aged for an impressive 24 months on their own lees, giving Von Winning Riesling Ozyetra its complexity.
Von Winning Riesling Ozyetra scores points on all fronts. A truly outstanding glass of wine that truly showcases the depth of a Riesling. A Riesling that reveals new dimensions with every sip. Exotic fruit, a super-concentrated flavor, and soft minerality alternate. A refreshing touch of citrus and lemon curd completes Von Winning Riesling Ozyetra.
