Dreissigacker Vintages Riesling NV
£24.25
The wine
A pure dry Riesling of invigorating freshness, with citrus, green apple, peach and fresh grass.
Vintages is a multi-vintage blend, unusual for a still Riesling, assembled to build complexity beyond what a single harvest gives and to even out the swings of a marginal climate. The Rheinhessen is Germany largest wine region and was for decades its least regarded, the home of Liebfraumilch. A generation of young growers has turned it into one of the most exciting parts of the country, and Dreissigacker is among the names at the front of that revival. Jochen Dreissigacker farms at Bechtheim in the Rheinhessen, certified organic since the 2010 vintage and working much of the estate biodynamically.

The domaine works with meticulous care and minimal intervention, letting the limestone and clay soils speak clearly. Long lees ageing and restraint give wines of real depth and tension. The style is bone-dry, mineral, and refined.

To pour a Dreissigacker wine is to taste the new Germany. Dry, mineral, and beautifully made, these are Rieslings for those who love precision and energy.
