 |  |  |  |  |
Producer: The Heyl family has been involved in viticulture since 1800.
In 1900 they acquired their present manor house and cellars some of
which date from the 16th century. The Ahr family foundation owns and
manages the estate today.
Region / Vineyards: The vineyards along the Rhine or the Rhine terrace
around Nierstein are among the best in Rheinhessen, Germany's largest
wine region.
Vintage: A winter with plenty of rain combined with the warm early
spring days set off rapid and luxuriant vegetation. One of the hottest
and driest summers since 100 years followed. Harvest was well ahead 2
– 3 weeks and rewarded vintners with an exceptionally good vintage.
Taste Profile: An elegant and charming wine with lots of fruit.
Pairings: Recommended for lighter dishes as well as with cheese, but
also perfect on its own.
Wine Profile: Alc. by Vol.: 11.4 %, residual sugar: 1.22 % (12.2 g/l),
acidity: 0.81% (8.1 g/l)
Grape variety: 100 % Riesling
