Description

The Benediktusberg is a steep south-facing vineyard overlooking the Main river. The soils are thin, frequently exposing the limestone bedrock. No surprise that the Mays were keen to expand their small holding here, from one hectare to two and a half in 2020, with more coming onstream in 2022. It is supremely elegant, smooth and magically fine. The juicy floral and cool citrus fruit increase steadily in intensity, underpinned by a dark stony core, and finishing on a long gentle saline note.
