The Edinburgh Geologist - Issue no 41 - Autumn 2003


Devil's Rock label		 Information

The label tells us that the Riesling grapes for this wine grow in the warm Palatinate countryside. The Palatinate is in the Pfälzerwald in southwestern Germany. The label continues to inform us that this is an innovative wine with all the zingy excitement of lemons and grapefruit. The wine is full of fruit when young but with a structure for aging, intense and balanced:

'Devil's Rock stands out like the geological landmark in the Palatinate that lends its name.'

Thanks to Vic Loudon and Richard Batchelor who both saw this and sent me labels. I have since seen it in Tesco's who must surely be including it in their range because of leaked information that the wine was to be featured here.

You will be pleased to know that I already have a label with a geological slant lined up for the next issue, but keep them coming in!
