Weingut Andres, Pfalz Riesling vom Buntsandstein, Trocken 2025

£20.00

This estate Riesling draws its character from the red sandstone soils of the Mittelhaardt. Fermented with natural yeasts and aged partly in large oak casks, it strikes a balance between fruit and mineral precision. Expect lime zest, green apple and white peach on the nose, with a dry, juicy palate underpinned by lively acidity and a stony, lingering finish. A wine of clarity and quiet confidence.

Nestled in the heart of Deidesheim along the famous Deutsche Weinstraße, Weingut Andres is a family estate that embodies the perfect balance between tradition and a bold new vision. Founded by the brothers' grandfather, the estate has been passed down through three generations, each leaving its own mark on this exceptional property in the Mittelhaardt.

Since 2015, brothers Michael and Thomas Andres have taken the reins from their father Matthias, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge — Michael having studied oenology in Geisenheim and Thomas wine business management in Heilbronn. Known in the wine scene as the "Flintstone Brothers" for their distinctively reductive winemaking style, the duo has quickly become one of the most exciting names in German wine.
