2023 Ricker & Söhne Amber No. 1

nothing added. nothing removed.

winegrowing strives to optimize all oenological processes towards naturalness. This results in timeless and pure wines of a new style of wine.

Ricker & Söhne have a 500-year tradition in winemaking. The family business works exclusively by hand in a permaculture system; fungicides and pesticides are not used. The wine is carefully matured in amphorae. The wine is neither pressed nor are other industrial processes used.

Amber No. 1 , a wine made from white grapes fermented on the mash in an amphora, also known as amber or orange wine, was made from the Souvignier Gris and Johanniter varieties. Grape skins and juice were allowed to undergo alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation together. The wine was stored on the mash for a total of nine months and developed into an expressive, golden-colored wine with storage potential. Only 728 bottles were filled.

Tasting note:

The first and second noses are dominated by honey and ripe fruit. The first taste impression is dominated by a pleasant tannin note as well as cinnamon and pear. After a fine finish, the wine lingers for a long time with a hint of dried fruit.
