✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the prestigious 'Reichestal' (literally 'Rich Valley') vineyard in Hochheim am Main, this Grosses Gew$chs (GG) represents the pinnacle of Rheingau Sp$tburgunder. The vineyard's name historically pays tribute to its exceptionally fertile, deep clay-loess soils interspersed with gravel, which retain warmth and moisture to yield remarkably opulent wines. Protected from chilly northern winds, this south-facing amphitheater provides an ideal microclimate for Pinot Noir, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness. Weingut K$nstler crafts this grand cru with meticulous hand-harvesting, traditional fermentation, and patient aging in French oak barriques. The result is a deeply structured, elegant red wine that seamlessly marries dark cherry fruit with complex earthy undertones, fine-grained tannins, and a persistent mineral finish, echoing the historic legacy of Hochheim's world-class vineyards.
🍾 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.
