2020 Axel Pauly `Lieserer Niederberg-Helden` Riesling Kabinett

Axel Pauly is one of the dynamic young stars of German wine. He took over the Pauly estate from his father after having done vintages in California, New Zealand and other parts of Germany. The Pauly vines cling to steeply sloping, vertigo-inducing vineyards, where Axel uses crop thinning, leaf plucking and grape selection at harvest to ensure a ripeness of flavour in the fruit that he preserves through to the final wine.

The fruit for his two single-vineyard Mosel Rieslings is sourced from the steep slope of Niederberg-Helden top site. The `Lieserer Niederberg-Helden` is a delicate, off-dry Kabinett full of charming fruit and lively acidity.
