Karl May Bechtheim Geyersberg Riesling dry

A dry Riesling from one of the best sites in Rheinhessen — the Geyersberg in Bechtheim lies on the south-facing slope and produces grapes with ripe fruit and clear minerality.

The Karl May winery is one of the most reliable producers in Rheinhessen. The Geyersberg vineyard is a designated single site in Bechtheim, whose south-facing slope ensures good ripeness while maintaining a vibrant acidity – both classic prerequisites for a structured, dry Riesling.

The wine displays a pale yellow color in the glass. The nose offers aromas of apple, white peach, and acacia blossom, underpinned by a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the mineral character of the Geyersberg vineyard comes to the fore: firm acidity, low residual sugar, and a clean, lingering finish. James Suckling awarded this vintage 94 points, and Parker 92.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Pairs well with fried pike-perch with caper butter, asparagus with hollandaise sauce or mild goat cheese.

The Winery

Weingut Karl May

The Mays have been making wine in Wonnegau since 1815 – and you can feel it. Seven generations, one passion: real wines that taste of home. Today, Peter and Fritz May stand together in the vineyard. Two brothers, one family, one goal: wines that do not deny their origin.

The geological diversity of their sites in Wonnegau gives every wine its own character – mineral, complex, unmistakable. The Mays work ecologically in the vineyard. No quick fix, but real craftsmanship that gives the soil and the vines time. You can taste the result in the glass: wines with attitude that have something to tell you.
