✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Weingut Künstler's estate Riesling serves as a magnificent introduction to the unique terroir of Hochheim am Main, situated at the eastern edge of the Rheingau where the Main River meets the Rhine. This geographic positioning gives Hochheim a warmer microclimate than the lower Rheingau, resulting in Rieslings of exceptional richness, body, and balanced acidity. The historical significance of this region cannot be overstated; it is from Hochheim that the English term 'Hock' was coined, a name popularized after Queen Victoria visited the town's vineyards in 1850 and declared her love for its wines. Künstler's classic Riesling is crafted with fruit from estate vineyards dominated by clay-loess soils, fermented in a combination of temperature-controlled stainless steel and traditional large oak casks. This methodology preserves the vibrant, mineral-driven purity of the grape while imparting a subtle, textured complexity that defines the estate's signature style.
🍾 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.
