Hattenheim Wisselbrunnen Riesling GG

The Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen is one of the three so-called "Brunnen" sites in the Rheingau — and Spreitzer is one of the wineries that consistently exploits the potential of this site. The result is a dry Riesling with depth and aging potential.

The site is located between Hattenheim and Erbach, facing south-southwest. The tertiary marl soils store water efficiently — even in dry years, the grapes ripen evenly. Spreitzer has been cultivating its Rheingau vineyards for generations and is today one of the most reliable addresses for Grosses Gewächs from the Rheingau.

In the glass, the Wisselbrunnen shows the typical Rheingau Riesling structure: ripe citrus fruit, a hint of white peach, underneath a mineral, almost chalky depth. The acidity is present but integrated — not a sharp pull, but a supporting line that keeps the wine long and fresh on the finish.

Recommendation: Sweetbreads, grilled turbot with caper butter, or a mature Comté. Serving temperature 10–12 °C. Those who wait will be rewarded with more complexity.
