The original idea behind the symposium was simple: to provide Riesling, widely celebrated around the globe as the noblest of white wine grapes, with a platform in its native, German speaking world. And so, on behalf of the VDP-Rheingau, please allow me to welcome you here for this second edition of the IRS. This symposium is now part of a larger international “Riesling Coalition" – one that also includes the “Riesling Rendezvous" in Seattle and the Australian “Riesling Downunder" in Sydney and Melbourne. These three Riesling symposiums are held on a regular and rotating basis in the USA, Australia and Germany. Thanks to the tremendous dedication of devoted Riesling winegrowers, sommeliers, spe - cialized dealers and, last but not least, the interested media, Riesling's image has under - gone a resplendent Renaissance. Yet this progress also poses a new challenge for Riesling producers: to preserve and protect the sites and terroir that are the cradles of Riesling. Now is hardly the time to rest on our laurels. Rather, we must forge ahead in the uncompromising pursuit of quality, from the vines and viniculture to the final presentation and marketing, all in an effort to solidify and expand Riesling's recently reclaimed stature. Over the next two days, recognized Riesling authorities gathered here will explore these topics in open forums and professional tastings. We've scheduled renowned lecturers and moderators to explore issues of relevance, from the vineyard and cellar to the market and media. We at VDP-Rheingau consider ourselves very lucky to have garnered the attendance and participation of colleagues from top wine estates around the world. And so let us all together express our hope and gratitude for two Riesling-rich days here in the Rheingau. I can think of few places better suited to host such a distinguished Riesling symposium, since the Rheingau's motto might well be: Rheingau is Riesling and Riesling is Rheinga u! Wilhelm Weil Chairman of the VDP-Rheingau 8 Grusswort Wilhelm Weil (Vorsitzender des VDP-Rheingau) Liebe Teilnehmer am „Internationalen Riesling Symposium“, im Jahre 2010 hatte das „Internationale Riesling Symposium“ (IRS) hier im Rheingau seine erfolgreiche Premiere. Anstoß dazu gab die Idee, dem Riesling, von vielen und welt weit als wertvollste Weißwein-Rebsorte gefeiert, an seinem Ursprung, dem deutsch - sprachigen Raum, mit einem Symposium eine große Bühne zu bieten. Und nun kann ich Sie im Namen des VDP-Rheingau zum zweiten IRS willkommen heißen. Das IRS ist heute zusammen mit dem „Riesling Rendezvous“ in Seattle und dem aus- tra lischen „Riesling Downunder“ in Sydney und Melbourne in einer internationalen „Riesling Coalition“ verbunden. Diese drei Riesling-Symposien finden nunmehr drei- jährig alternierend in den USA, Australien und Deutschland statt. Auf Grund de s großen Einsatzes engagierter Riesling-Winzer, Sommeliers, Fach händler und nicht zuletzt der begleitenden Medien erfährt der Riesling derzeit weltweit eine Renaissance seines strahlenden Images. So muss es heute für die Riesling-Erzeuger mehr denn je darum gehen, die Heimatregionen des Rieslings und seine wertvollsten Terroirs zu bewahren. Es ist somit nicht die

  • Return to Terroir
    RETURN TO TERROIR “Biodynamy, wine growing for the future” TASTING Is biodynamic Wine-growing a Myth or a Realit y? By Nicolas Joly – Coulée de Serrant There is no doubt that more and more fascinated private individuals and professionals are discovering a source of complexity, a surge of vitality, and an additional purity in the increasing number of biodynamic wines. There is also no doubt that this type of agriculture, which differs from biological agriculture insofar as it adds very small amounts of preparations per hectares, quantities varying from one to one hundred grams, that have usually been dynamised in water, can upset those who try to understand it. How can such small quantities have any real effect on the quality of wine? Wouldn’t the result be the same with simple biological agriculture? Faced with these questions, the group of those in favour and those against puff themselves up by publicly making boasts on a regular basis, as behind the scenes both sides prepare for battle. In order to pass from the profound convictions which generate belief to knowledge and thus a more rigorous demonstration, there is finally a step to be taken here. It is on this approach that partially depends the authenticity of the quality of our future wines. Let us begin by observing the corpse of an animal that has just died. In a few weeks its simple elements will again be part of the earth. Thus the question to ask is: where are the energies which constructed this organism in such a sophisticated manner? Who took the calcium to sculpt the bone? Who took the silica to form the hair? Don’t these forces exist in other ways besides forming embryos? A seed, an egg.

  • WEINGUT WITTMANN 2019 Aulerde Riesling Grosses Gewächs (Gg)
    WEINGUT WITTMANN 2019 Aulerde Riesling Grosses Gewächs (GG) A dark and brooding dry Riesling from the warm heart of the Grosse Lage (grand cru) Aulerde vineyard in Westhofen. First documented in 1380, the Aulerde site lies at the foot of the protective slopes of the Kirchspiel vineyard, and it is the estate’s warmest site. The topsoil is mostly a deep layer of loess, but in a small portion of Aulerde there is a heavy clayish marl with only a small amount of limestone. It is only in this parcel that Riesling is grown in the Aulerde vineyard. THE WITTMANN ESTATE The Wittmann estate has as its foundation the pursuit of balanced wines that have tension, depth and intensity, but are at the same time fresh and elegant. Owner Philipp Wittmann has no doubt that this complex character can only be created in the vineyard, so attention to detail in the viticulture is of primary importance. Philipp works for natural balance in the vineyards, in order to harvest grapes that have fully developed flavors and a well-balanced structure. The Rheinhessen is a vast area of rolling hills in the knee of the Rhine river, near Mainz. Wine grapes have been cultivated here since Roman times, and many different grape varieties are grown, including the Pinots. The soils are primarily based on limestone, with a mix of topsoils, including clay, marl and loess. THE 2019 VINTAGE Sticking to the ongoing theme of “Weather Gone Wild,” 2019 once again proved itself to be a year of extremes. But the wines show a juicy freshness, playful and delicate acidity and strong minerality on the palate.

Chateau Grand Traverse is the region’s leading producer. The Whole Cluster Riesling is slightly off-dry though definitely not sweet, showing excellent fruit and texture.” —Washington Post “This might seem to be the last place to look for remarkable Rieslings, but since 1998 Sean O’Keefe has pushed the development of this medium-dry wine ahead at a pace not seen in America since the Apollo space program of the 1960s. The fennel and anise notes add complexity to the apple and pear fruit (in warm years, like 2012, there are also some exotic fruits). If you wonder what the mineral taste in wine really is, then try this and look out for the salty note in the aftertaste.” —LA Times “This is great stuff. This is world-class wine.” —Dan Berger, Noted Wine Author & Columnist “To my mind – and I was by no means alone in my enthusiasm – the most interesting wine by far, a wine I thought might be a wild-fermented dry German, was Chateau Grand Traverse, Lot 49 2010 Old Mission Peninsula, a relatively new addition to the range of wines made by this energetic Riesling

  • WEINGUT WITTMANN 2018 Westhofener Riesling Trocken
    Vineyards of Westhofen Winemaker Philipp Wittmann WEINGUT WITTMANN 2018 Westhofener Riesling Trocken WEINGUT WITTMANN The Wittmann estate has as its foundation the pursuit of balanced wines that have tension, depth and intensity, but are at the same time fresh and elegant. Owner Philipp Wittmann has no doubt that this complex character can only be created in the vineyard, so attention to detail in the viticulture is of primary importance. Philipp looks for natural balance in the vineyards, in order to slow the ripening process and harvest grapes that have fully developed flavors, but are not overripe and still have moderate must weights. All of the Wittmann estate vineyards are certified Organic and Biodynamic. THE RHEINHESSEN REGION The Rheinhessen is a vast area of rolling hills in the knee of the Rhine river, between the Pfalz and the Rheingau. Wine grapes have been cultivated here since Roman times. Many different grape varieties are grown here, including the Pinot varieties. The soils are primarily based on limestone, with a mix of topsoils, including clay, marl and loess. WESTHOFENER RIESLING TROCKEN This is the estate’s “village” wine (VDP.Ortswein), selected from younger blocks (5 to 15 years) in the Grosse Lage (grand cru) Morstein and Brunnenhäuschen vineyards. It is a selective hand harvest of fully ripe grapes that are gently pressed and naturally fermented in large, neutral oak casks. Rich in mineral tones, this wine shows the great potential of these tops sites. TECHNICAL INFO Grape Variety: 100% Riesling Vineyard Sources: Morstein (75%) and Brunnenhäuschen (25%) Viticulture: 100% Biodynamic (certified by Respekt Wine) Vinification: Brief maceration (6–12 hours).
