The warm, rocky slopes drain freely, limiting vine growth and producing tiny berries packed with flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristian and Matthias Runkel pick late, working through the vineyard by hand in several passes. A short soak on skins precedes gentle pressing, followed by natural yeast fermentation in stainless steel and eight months on lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt needs a little air at first, then apricot, lime and orange peel emerge alongside flint and wild herbs. There’s lovely ripe fruit and creaminess through the palate, followed by firm grip, bright acidity and a long, stony finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’d give this a decant now or put a few bottles away to develop. Historic vineyard pedigree, concentrated fruit and serious structure make this a standout among the Bischel range, with remarkable value for Grand Cru-level dry Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZooaKy5Xpg8?si=dFJ45raDIBLhywP6\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/scharlachberg_px6yio.webp?v=1792489710\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remarkable and historic GG-classified Scharlachberg vineyard\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Bischel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43940647796779,"sku":"2023 Weingut Bischel Scharlachberg Riesling GG","price":135.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023WeingutBischelScharlachbergRieslingGG.png?v=1792483180","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-weingut-bischel-scharlachberg-riesling-gg","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
