Name Kabinett ROYAL Vintage 2016 Variety Riesling Taste Dry Analysis Alcohol 12 % vol. Acidity 7,1 g/l Residual Sugar 7,3 g/l Serving Temperature 8° C to 10° C Art. No. 1626-1 Tasting Notes A worthy, modern interpretation of the Rheingau Riesling, as we define it. This vintage’s Kabinett ROYAL is powerful, the typical Riesling acidity well integrated into the aroma profile. Refreshing and juicy, a straightforward Riesling with almost irresistible flavors provides a wonderful drinking experience. Wine Production The harvest occurred from the end of September to the end of October. Intense, manual selection in the vineyard secured that only the finest grapes were harvested. From the vineyard, the grapes were transported to the winery’s press house where they were gently crushed. To preserve the fresh fruit-laden aromas of the Riesling must, the fermentation took place in temperature- controlled, stainless steel tanks. Vintage 2016 Considering plant protection, the year 2016 was a much bigger challenge than the previous years. Until the end of June the amount of rainfall was about 3 to 4 times higher than the average rainfall. From July on the weather conditions started to normalize and led to a vintage of very good quality with a little less than average crop. Prinz von Hessen Based in Johannisberg in the Rheingau, the winery ranks amongst Germany’s finest Riesling producers. Numerous accolades, national and international, reflect the extraordinarily high quality of the wines. The Riesling vines are cultivated on the top sites of the Rheingau, among them such prestigious names as Johannisberger Klaus, Winkeler Hasensprung and Winkeler Jesuitengarten. Ninty-five percent of the winery’s vineyards are dedicated to the Riesling grape.

The Rumors Are True: the Rheingau Is Back - Jamessuckling.Com

Photo Credit: Eva Fricke https://www.jamessuckling.com/wine-tasting-reports/rumors-true-rheingau-back/?mc_cid=065ca5ec32&mc_eid=2fe3133b20 1/98 4.8.2017 The Rumors Are True: The Rheingau is Back - JamesSuckling.com After scoring more than 50 Rheingau GGs from Germany’s 2015 vintage last fall, I suspected that winemakers were on to something to special. “This new vintage suggests that winemakers have seriously rethought and revamped grape growing and winemaking in the region,” I wrote. Well, last month I returned to the Rheingau to score nearly 400 wines from the 2015 and 2016 vintages and, indeed, the rumors are true. The Rheingau is ﬁnally back! But ﬁrst, let’s revisit that brief history on where the Rheingau has been all these years. By far the most famous wine region on the river Rhine is the Rheingau. Its steepest slopes are rather stony, with slate type soils that retain little water, but most of the vineyards have relatively deep loamy soils that are fertile and water-retentive. This makes the wines bolder and broader than those of the Mosel. Its slopes have long been dominated by aristocratic estates, some of them complete with castles like that of Schloss Johannisberg and Schloss Vollards. And for two centuries from the 1776 vintage through to that of 1976, Rheingau wines were known for world premiere high-end riesling.

2011 Rheingau Riesling Auslese Weingut Georg Breuer Region With
Wine description 2011 Rheingau Riesling Auslese Weingut Georg Breuer Region With its some 3000 Hectars, Rheingau is one of the smallest winegrowing regions in Germany. Southfacing steep slopes are protected from the cold northerly winds by the Taunus Mountains, giving ideal ripening conditions. Vintage The 2011 vintage was defined by very unstable weather, which however towards the end allowed the grapes to develop perfect ripeness. After a short and cold winter, the April brought early summer-like temperatures with very little rain. Only in July and August could the rainfall deficiency be recovered. In the last weeks of the ripening process we enjoyed a golden October. Warm summer temperatures provided for a long harvest, which allowed all vineyards to be picked at the most ideal time. Grape variety The noblest grapevariety in Germany, also aknowledged as one of the greatest varieties in the world ripens late and gives wines which are clean, hace a crisp acidity, floral bouquet yet are powerful. Terroir Weathered slate with loess and loam give ideal ripening conditions for Riesling which thrives on the high mineral content of the soil. It is also heat absorbing which is important in its ripening process. Wine estate Implementing a strict quality philosophy Bernhard Breuer turned the family-owned winery with its 33 hectares into a leading estate in the Rheingau. Today, his daughter Theresa runs the estate, supported by cellar master Hermann Schmoranz. Wine Bright pale yellow, seductive aromas of apricot and honey. Sweet, balanced by refreshing acidity and a fruit character of orange zest and apricot. A lighter Auslese, with a lingering, seducing finish.

Riesling Kabinett Trocken
RHEINGAU VDP.GUTSWEIN RIESLING KABINETT TROCKEN Weingut Robert Weil, founded 1875, is run today by Wilhelm Weil, the fourth generation of the founding family. The founder of the estate, Dr. Robert Weil, purchased his first vineyards on the Kiedricher Berg in 1867, at a time when he was still a German professor at the Sorbonne in Paris. With the approach of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, he was forced to leave France. He settled in Wiesbaden, where he worked as a journalist, and Kiedrich, where he expanded his vineyard holdings by acquiring the best sites on the Kiedricher Berg. Thanks to his unwavering commitment to quality-oriented viticulture, his foresight, and his willingness to invest in the estate, it developed quickly and its wines were soon celebrated in international circles. Spätlese and Auslese wines from Weingut Robert Weil graced the table of many European imperial and royal houses as the white counterparts of the Bordeaux reds. Today, the estate’s 90 ha (222 acres) of vineyards are planted 100% with Riesling. Throughout its history the estate has always focused on the Riesling grape and adhered to strict, quality-ori- ented practices in the vineyard – such as stringent pruning to control yields and selective harvesting by hand – and in the cellar, where the wines are vinified as gently as possible. This unwavering and uncompromising quality management is central to Weingut Robert Weil’s unbroken streak of producing wines at every Prädikat classification, up to and including Trockenbeerenauslese, for every vintage since 1989. The estate’s dedication to Riesling since 1875 has led numerous observers of the international wine world to regard Weingut Robert Weil, with its “château character”, as a worldwide symbol of German Riesling culture.
