Kimich Deidesheimer Langenmorgen Riesling halbtrocken BASF Exclusive 2022

The first in the long line of winemakers in the Kimich family was the wine cooper Andreas Kimich who founded the winery in 1758. The estate was managed by the Kimich family for five further generations. In 1949 Joachim Arnold married a daughter of Julius Ferd. Kimich and took over the management. Today, his son Franz and grandson Matthias mange the business. Through careful work in the vineyard and cellar, they produce top-class wines.

This Halbtrockem Riesling is from Langenmorgen, which is considered one of the best vineyard sites in the Palatinate area. Langenmorgen first appears in records in 1491 and its name means "long morning", due to its well exposed south-east facing location. The combination of exposure, shade in the evening hours, and red sandstone rock soil gives Riesling from Langemorgen pronounced peach and apricot flavors. Bottled as a halbtrocken, this wine is just slightly sweeter than the trocken wine we carry from the same vineyard.
