✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hochheimer Mainterrassen Riesling is a beautiful expression of the unique terroir of Hochheim am Main, a historic winegrowing town situated at the eastern edge of the Rheingau. Unlike most of the region which overlooks the Rhine, Hochheim's vineyards face south toward the Main River. The 'Mainterrassen' refers to the ancient river terraces, where soils are characterized by a rich mixture of loess, clay, and river gravels. This soil composition, combined with the warming influence of the river, yields a Riesling that is typically rounder, more opulent, and slightly lower in sharp acidity than its counterparts from the steep slate slopes of the lower Rheingau. Historically, the wines of Hochheim were so celebrated in England that Queen Victoria's visit in 1850 popularized the term 'Hock' as a generic term for all German white wines. Weingut Künstler crafts this wine to capture the vibrant, fruit-forward, and mineral-driven essence of these historic terraces.
🍾 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.
