RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

A pungent, aromatic white, with gooseberry, peony and spice on the nose. Racy and vividly flavored, with citrus intensity and a laserlike finish.

91The Wine Advocate

...complexly-scented with ripe cherry, apricot, and plum, joined by smoky black tea and intimations of fruit pit bitterness that – along with an invigoratingly tart fruit skin edge – also emerge on a firm but juicy palate...sense of salinity makes for mouth-watering finishing satisfaction.

91Vinous / IWC

Yellow plum, lemon zest and a floral twist on the nose. Full and dense on the palate, yet at the same time juicy and invigorating. A finely spiced finish highlights the depth and minerality of this wine.

17Jancis Robinson

Dry grapefruit aromas. Dense and rich and tingly. Racy and lively.

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

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.
