Josef Spreitzer Winery Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen Riesling Grand Cru 2013

Weingut Josef Spreitzer Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2013 brings the characteristic class of the Rheingau to the glass in a matured form. The Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen is one of the region's renowned vineyard sites, standing for Rieslings with clear fruit, precise acidity, and mineral depth. As a Grosses Gewächs, this 2013 vintage combines its origin from a top site with the high standards of the Josef Spreitzer estate. The cool 2013 vintage favored wines with tension, freshness, and good structure.

In tasting, the Riesling now shows itself to be pleasantly developed. Ripe citrus fruit, yellow apple, and subtle stone fruit notes meet herbal nuances and a distinctive mineral spice. On the palate, it appears juicy and concentrated, remaining precise and straightforward thanks to its lively acidity. The finish is dry, complex, and marked by a fine salty freshness. A wine for quiet moments of enjoyment, demonstrating its origin not through opulence, but through balance and depth.

Serve it well-chilled, but not ice-cold, with pan-fried zander, pan-fried trout, or fine poultry in a light sauce. This matured Rheingau Riesling also makes for a harmonious pairing with loin of veal, aged goat cheese, or an aromatic mushroom tart.
