Characterized by barrel aging, it presents itself full-bodied and powerful on the palate, with ripe pear and red apple, sweet honeydew melon, spicy herbal notes, roasted nuts, and brioche captivating the mouth and nose. Plenty of melt and a mineral saltiness complete this impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its volume, the Karl May Riesling Osthofen is an elegant food companion for heartier dishes, such as pan-fried pork with mushrooms in cream sauce, cod with nut crust and pumpkin vegetables, or well-aged cheese. We recommend a large glass and a serving temperature of 10-12 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKarl May Wine – Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Karl May Riesling Osthofen is a village wine from the Osthofener Goldberg and Bechtheimer Geyersberg vineyards on the edge of the Wonnegau. There, on deep loess soils interspersed with limestone marl, the grapes for Karl May's Riesling Osthofen grow on old vines in organically farmed vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo harvest fully ripe Riesling grapes in autumn, Fritz and Peter May begin in January with gentle pruning and early defoliation of the grape zone for optimal sun exposure, as well as yield reduction through green harvesting in early summer. The selective hand harvesting of the grapes often takes place in several passes. The path to the new winery is not far, where the grapes are gently processed further. After a short maceration period, they are gently pressed, and the must is spontaneously fermented in wooden barrels, where it remains on the lees for 6 months and is then aged in wood. This brings power and complexity, fullness and creaminess to the village wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRiesling Osthofen – a Wine and its Values\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing Region Rheinhessen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVillage Wine Osthofen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinery Karl May - Fritz and Peter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety Riesling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12.0% vol.
