Varietal

Riesling

Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.

Country

Germany

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.

Region

Pfalz

The beautiful German wine region of Pfalz is the second largest in the country, and a region recognized for its astonishing variety and the quality of its produce. With around 25,000 hectares of land in Pfalz under vine, the region produces an impressive amount of wine, considering the fact that the majority of wineries in the region are independent, small and traditionally run. The vineyards of Pfalz benefit enormously from their relatively warm, dry and sunny climate – exceedingly similar to that of nearby Alsace – and the high quality, mineral rich soils that typify the region. Although grapes have been cultivated in the Pfalz region since time immemorial, it was the Romans who first built up the wine region in the first century, introducing many grape varietals which can still be found growing there to this day.

The 2023 Wachenheim Village Riesling trocken is clear, light, pure and fresh on the bright and fragrant, almost a little greenish nose that offers green apple, gooseberry and lemon rind but also white peach aromas intertwined with coolish and slightly saline terroir notes. Not extraordinarily ripe but elegant, saline and with sur lie complexity, it is round and elegant on the palate. This is a full-bodied yet pure and filigreed, savory, persistently intense and structured Riesling with serious grip and tension. It is very long and intense and very promising, 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025

Terrific Amalfi lemon and bergamot fruit that's so sunny, with a dynamic flinty character. Vibrant and salty on the sleek and very focused, medium-bodied palate. Long, slightly austere finish with excellent structure. A cuvee of wines from all five Premier Crus of this village, plus the Luginsland. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2023 Riesling Wachenheim Village was harvested in Erste Lagen in Wachenheim on the sites along the Weinstrasse, made half in large barrels and half in stainless steel. Lovely flint still hovers on the fruity nose, while zesty citrus starts its charm offensive. This carries right through to the palate, where it takes center stage and shines. Exquisitely balanced, beautifully sunny and bright, this could have even more bite. (Bone-dry)
