{"product_id":"2025-riesling-dry-villa-wolf","title":"2025, Riesling Dry, Villa Wolf","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHow it tastes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrisp, dry and refreshing, with juicy stone fruit and zesty citrus carried by a lively mineral streak. Malolactic conversion was deliberately blocked, so the acidity stays zippy right through to a mouth-watering finish — 100% Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVilla Wolf is the Pfalz estate of Ernst Loosen, who bought the historic J.L. Wolf winery (founded 1756) in Wachenheim in 1996 and appointed Patrick Moellendorf to run it. The vineyards lie between the Haardt Mountains and the Rhine, sheltered from Atlantic weather, on sandy loam and loess with weathered sandstone; much of the work — pruning, shoot thinning, leaf plucking — is done by hand with sustainable practices to maintain soil biodiversity. Sorted grapes were gently pressed and fermented with selected yeast in stainless steel at 15–18°C. The 2025 vintage saw a short, even flowering in early June and a dry summer, with an early, swift harvest giving wines of vibrant depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe well chilled at 7–9°C. A natural match for smoked trout, sushi, pork schnitzel or Thai green curry, and a fine aperitif. Under screwcap and best enjoyed young, though it will keep three to five years. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Villa Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58464551207295,"sku":"HNW-4702625A","price":17.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/HNW-4702625A.png?v=1789766948","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2025-riesling-dry-villa-wolf","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
