Schloss Reinhartshausen
Rheingau
- Award
- Gold medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2011 for Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen Riesling, Beerenauslese, Rheingau, 2007
The Rhine interrupts its journey from Switzerland to the North Sea only once, when it makes a broad bend at Wiesbaden, where it flows from east to west for some 30 km (20 miles) before its next bend at Rudesheim, where it resumes it northerly course. Vines have long been cultivated on the south-facing slopes of the northern riverbank, nestled between the Rhine and the protective forests of the Taunus Hills. With the advent of Riesling, the region achieved world fame. Nearly 80% of its 3,100 ha (some 7,700 acres) are planted with Riesling – a record among wine regions worldwide. The region’s easternmost vineyards overlook the Main River; the westernmost extend from Ru.desheim to Assmannshausen and Lorch.
Its geological history is millions of years old, during which its diverse soils developed: quartzite and slate; loess; and gravelly, sandy, and clay sediments of the Mainz Basin, a prehistoric sea – soils that mark the terroirs in which Riesling thrives. The wines: elegant, fragrant Rheingau Rieslings of great finesse and longevity, whether dry or lusciously sweet. The finest fetch tremendous prices at auction.

The freshness of fine mineral fruit elements is one of the individual characteristics for the wines from the Wisselbrunnen. Delicate aromas of apple, the evolving bouquet of apricots and black current give the wine a unique smell, while the play between the acidity and the subtle residual sugar continues. This wine may be a great companion for a classical beurre blanc.
