The 2020 Gutedel Viviser is another excellent Chasselas from the Ziereisen family. It was basket-pressed and aged in large oak casks on the lees for about 20 months. The nose is deep, intense, pure, spicy/stony and even reminiscent of fresh green olive oil but also iodine notes of crushed limestones. Round, intense and elegant on the palate, this is a saline, fresh, seriously structured and persistent Chasselas with vibrant mineral grip and tension and a refreshingly pure finish that still doesn't offer anything for hedonists. Just 11% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in November 2022 (L 08 22). ... More details

Sustainable freshness and lightness paired with character. The name "Viviser" is an old name for the Gutedel. The Gutedel comes from the Swiss Vevey and the German name is Vivis, therefore it used to be Viviser. Notes of citrus and peach in the bouquet, not banal or one-dimensional. On the palate minerality, spice and citrus fruit. Noticeable, but well-integrated, ripe acidity that gives the wine its freshness. A characterful, prancing drinking wine that is not obtrusive and therefore the ideal companion for many occasions. Aging potential of at least six years.

Country: Germany

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.
