RATINGS

97James Suckling

In spite of its seriously exotic nose (passion fruit, tropical flowers), this dry Riesling from one of the Rheingau's greatest vineyard sites has great delicacy and poise. Very concentrated and pretty rich, but also still sleek with great finesse and a finish that is outrageously minerally.

94Vinous / IWC

Scents and juicy profusion of fresh white peach, lemon and lime are accented by nut and fruit pit piquancy and a hint of resin from cask... Mouthwatering salinity and browned butter savor add to the allure of a vibrant finish that is loaded with intrigue but doesn’t neglect Riesling’s first duty to refresh.

REGION

Germany, Rheingau

Rheingau is considered one of the finest of Germany’s great wine districts. Its 8,000 vineyard acres are planted primarily to Riesling, and the Rieslings of Rheingau are noted for their steely character. In recent decades producers have also started planted Pinot Noir, called Spatburgunder in Germany. Historically the most famous Rieslings of the Rheingau have been the very sweet Beerenauslesen and Trockenbeerenauslesen styles, but as the market for dry wines has increased, younger Rheingau winemakers have begun producing dry Riesling, harkening back to methods used before the 20th century. By 2005 nearly 85% of the Rheingau Rieslings have been dry wines.

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling, Qualitatswein

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
