Throughout this transition, they’ve become one of the leading biodynamic pioneers in the Rheinhessen appellation. Their slogan, “Liquid Earth,” epitomizes the power and purity you taste in this wine, which buzzes with electric acid and crushed rock minerality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e100% biodynamic (super rare in Germany) and made in the old-school way —large wooden barrels, no manipulation -- this is classic and excellent Riesling, the kind somms and wine geeks drool over: bone-dry with citrus blossoms, fuzzy peach skin, petrol, white flowers and intense layers of crushed chalk and wet rock. It's gorgeous upon opening, but with 15 minutes in a decanter or glass, it becomes even more aromatic and minerally.  If you're on the Riesling train (and you should be), pounce on this wine, for drinking now and over the next few years and far beyond. It’s an incredible value for the quality and depth, and will only get more beautiful with age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53323739496759,"sku":"ehr1792014827555","price":16.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/1748\/9719\/files\/2016-battenfeld-spanier-riesling-trocken_1.jpg?v=1792014834","url":"https:\/\/indigodyew.shop\/products\/2016-battenfeld-spanier-riesling-trocken","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
