Vom Buntsandstein Riesling trocken 2025

The wine's story:

Vom Buntsandstein is Lukas Hammelmann’s estate-level Riesling and the best way to get to know the house style. The name refers to the red sandstone characteristic of the Pfalz, which gives Riesling a straight, slightly spicy minerality. Like all of Lukas’s wines, it is hand-picked and fermented with wild yeasts in wooden casks – the result is a wine that is fresh and lively, yet more textured than a typical entry-level Riesling.

Lukas Hammelmann founded his small wine estate in Zeiskam, in the southern Pfalz, in 2016, coming from a family with no previous connection to winemaking. He farms just under five hectares in three villages – Zeiskam, Hochstadt and Neustadt-Hambach – and makes wine from only three varieties: Riesling, Chardonnay and Spätburgunder.

Winemaking:

• Variety: Riesling 100%
