- Bronze, International Wine Challenge, 2017
Top spot for Riesling has always been Germany and Hochheim is one of its most prized areas. From a remarkable seventh generation family estate, this is a beautifully poised white with ripe peach notes backed by racy freshness. A real stunner.

Beyond the Label
Tasting notes
Ripe apple and pear flavours offset by a taut acidity
Aroma
Apricot, lemon and chalky mineral aromas
Overlooking the Rhine as it stretches westward past Wiesbaden, the Rheingau is a very traditional region, with stunning views and magnificent historic estates. The Hochheim area, with its south facing slopes and chalky, mineral rich soil, is renowned for the outstanding quality of its Rieslings. Dr Franz Werner Michel is the seventh generation to head the Domdechant Werner estate, comprising a stylish manor house with surrounding vineyards overlooking the picturesque city of Mainz and the Rhein-Main landscape. Made purely from estate grown fruit, this Domdechant Werner Riesling Classic is off-dry in style with soft peach character backed by racy acidity. A perfect apéritif, it is a great partner for shellfish dishes or smoked salmon salad.
