Quartzite-Soil Riesling in Magnum Format with a Dry Profile
The Riffel Binger Quarzit Trocken Magnum 2020 White Wine is Weingut Riffel's mineral Riesling in a 1.5-liter format. The winery is a family estate in Bingen am Rhein, in Rheinhessen, Germany, at the confluence of the Rhine and Nahe rivers, run by Carolin and Erik Riffel since 2005, with organic and biodynamic viticulture and vegan wines. “Quarzit” refers to quartzite, the soil of the vineyards, which gives the wine its mineral character. It is made with Riesling grapes and has a dry (Trocken) profile: its aroma combines delicate citrus notes with intense minerality. The Magnum format is equivalent to two bottles, yields about ten glasses, and usually ages more slowly in the bottle, making it ideal for sharing, gifting, and cellaring.
