Urban Riesling

Описание

The wine has a straw color with aromas of ripe yellow fruits and piercing minerality. Smoky spices and ripe citrus fruits in a long aftertaste. The vineyards have a southern exposure and slate soils rich in iron, which give the wine a spicy tone. Aged on the lees in neutral tanks. Urban Riesling was named after the patron saint of winemaking, Saint Urban. According to legend, Saint Urban hid from his persecutors behind a vine during political persecution and moved from city to city through vineyards. Therefore, in iconography, he is often depicted with a bunch of grapes or a vine in his hand. For the same reason, he is considered the patron saint of winemakers, although this function is often mistakenly attributed to Pope Urban I. There is also a belief – if it is very sunny on Saint Urban’s day, January 23, then there will be a lot of good wine.
