Femme Fatale Riesling 2023

It appears with subtle sweetness, shows cool fruit and nice tension.

- Eichelmann Wine Guide 2026, 86 points

Femme Fatale is our Riesling temptation. It begins elegantly and seduces with its extract fruit, which clings to the precise minerality of our lime marl soil. Definitely not a one-off adventure, but an introduction to day drinking. 

This is a Riesling that shows how minerality and extract sweetness complement each other perfectly, offering a very harmonious entry into the world of Riesling.

Ideally suited to Asian cuisine, but also steak - or just a pleasure on its own. We say: beware of this adventure and have fun enjoying it.
