✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hochheimer Domdechaney vineyard is steeped in ecclesiastical history, its name translating to the 'deanery of the cathedral,' referencing its historic ownership by the Cathedral Chapter of Mainz. Situated on a south-facing slope near the Main river, this legendary site is characterized by heavy, nutrient-rich clay-loess soils with limestone marl. These soils retain moisture exceptionally well, yielding Rieslings of immense power, structure, and opulent texture. The Auslese style from this vineyard represents a meticulous selection of late-harvested, botrytis-affected grapes. Historically, the wines of Hochheim were so revered by British royalty and high society that they inspired the English term 'Hock' to refer to all Rhine wines. Künstler's expression of this site captures the perfect harmony of luscious sweetness, vibrant acidity, and a deep, earthy minerality.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Weingut Künstler blev grundlagt i Hochheim am Main i 1965 af Franz Künstler, som dermed genoplivede en lang familietradition for vinavl med rødder i Sydmähren før Anden Verdenskrig. Vingården opnåede international anerkendelse under ledelse af sønnen Gunter Künstler, der overtog ansvaret i 1992 med et kompromisløst fokus på terroirpræget præcision. Med berømte VDP.Grosse Lage-marker som Hochheimer Hölle, Kirchenstück og Domdechaney i porteføljen arbejder vinhuset ud fra principper om bæredygtig dyrkning, minimal indgriben i kælderen og langvarig lagring på bærmen. Künstler er i dag verdenskendt for sine kraftfulde, mineralske tørre Riesling-vine, storslåede ædelsøde kreationer samt bemærkelsesværdigt elegante og komplekse Spätburgunder-vine.
