RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...round and elegant, fine and lush, dry Riesling with charming fruit, a fine tannin structure and aromatic as well as tensioned length.

92James Suckling

Pretty peaches and apricots, as well as chamomile and dried lemons follow through to a finely tuned, medium palate that’s bursting with vibrant acidity and fleshy stone fruit.

90Vinous / IWC

Pear and lime are marked by seed piquancy on the nose...midpalate impression is of stimulating piquancy, pithy concentration and underlying firmness. .

15Jancis Robinson

Floral, lifted nose with more transparency and lightness than the Mann Alsace version.

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.
