Strub 'Dino Raw' Orange Riesling Trocken 2023

Strub 'Dino Raw' Riesling Trocken Orange 2023

A dry, skin-contact Riesling with citrus oil, dried apricot, apple skin, tea leaf, and flinty mineral notes. Structured palate with firm acidity and tannic grip.

Key Details:

Producer: Weingut Strub is a Nahe-based estate working with Riesling, one of Germany’s most precise grape varieties. The 'Dino Raw' bottling represents a deviation from classical Riesling precision toward skin contact and structural experimentation.

Region: Nahe, Germany

Varietal: 100% Riesling

Vintage: 2023

Style: Dry orange-style Riesling (skin contact / extended maceration).

Why It’s Special: This is Riesling pulled into a different shape: citrus oil, dried stone fruit, tea leaf, and mineral grip. You still get acidity, but it’s wrapped in tannin and texture.  A great introduction to orange wine!

It matters because it shows what Riesling can do when it steps outside its usual crystalline form — still precise, but more tactile.

Food Pairing: Spiced cuisine, roasted vegetables, pork dishes, and aged cheeses.
