About the Wine

The name means “sandy bay”, referencing its soil – sandy loam over red sandstone, with layers of limestone. This is a south facing vineyard, sloping south towards the village, with the walls and houses of Deideshiem at the base of the slope. This equates to less movement of air and more direct sun and more solar radiation.

The nose shows a very nice noble reduction, ripe lime, and citrus aromas. Ripe white peach, a juicy structure built on fruit. In the background, there is toasted coconut and more exotic flavors before the wine tightens and moves into the finish. It’s young, but impressive already. Grainhübel shows finesse for the level of ripeness broader texture than some of the other GGs.
