✨ Technical Specifications
Weingut Wageck, located in Bissersheim within the northern Pfalz, is renowned for leveraging the region's rare, limestone-rich soils to craft highly structured white wines. The Groß Riesling comes from top-tier single-vineyard plots like the Bissenheimer Goldberg. Protected by the Haardt Mountains, the vines benefit from a warm climate tempered by cool night air, yielding fully mature fruit with electric natural acid. Hand-harvested with strict selection, the grapes undergo minimal intervention winemaking, resulting in a dry (trocken) Riesling defined by chiseled minerality, tension, and subtle textural depth.
