Only one more year...RESSpekt will be retrieved
RESSpekt is made from a selection of the finest Riesling grapes grown
on the Rüdesheimer Berg, which includes the steepest parcels (up to
70% incline) of the Rheingau. Vintage 2009 was fermented without the
addition of cultured yeast, and in order to preserve its individual
character, it was not clarified or fined.
For this reason, RESSpekt
must always be stored at a cool temperature – which led to the idea
of the dive. Diez quarry pond lies within a steep limestone
formation. It is known for its excellent water quality and adherence
to environmental standards. Thanks to its depth of 22 meters/72 feet,
it provides year-round optimal storage temperatures between 6 and 8°C
(42.8 and 46.4°F). The precious treasures will be salvaged in the
summer of 2013. We’re anxious to see how the wine developed under
these optimal storage conditions
