Von Reben Riesling 2017
Rheinhessen Qualitätswein
Crisp, refreshing Riesling from the rolling hills of the Rheinhessen, where grapes have been grown for over a thousand years. This outstanding cellar produces superb modern Rieslings, this one dry and elegant with pronounced apple and citrus fruit.
Beyond the Label
Tasting notes
Exhilarating freshness, crisp acidity and a lingering finish
Aroma
Hints of green apple, fleshy peach and ripe apricot
Germany has always produced some of the world’s finest Rieslings. In the last decade or so, German winemakers have perfected a dry style of wines too, producing wines with a gloriously zingy and appetising balance of brilliance lemon and apple fruit undercut by intense mineral poise. They are equally brilliant as an apéritif or as a foil to food. This classic dry Riesling from historic Rheinhessen was made by Manuel Brixius at the award winning Niersteiner Weingenossenschaft, founded in 1930. Yields were small for the 2017 vintage, due to April frosts, but the quality is excellent – elegant, crisp and powerfully aromatic Rieslings – exactly what you have here. Breathe in the vibrant apple and lime fruit and real mineral finesse, and sip.
