Künstler Hochheim Kirchenstück Riesling GG dry

A Riesling from one of the Rheingau's finest vineyards – the Hochheimer Kirchenstück produces wines that combine elegance with genuine depth. 98 points from James Suckling for the 2022 vintage speak for themselves.

The Künstler winery in Hochheim am Main has been one of the most reliable addresses in the Rheingau for decades. The Kirchenstück vineyard lies directly on a bend in the Main River: deep clay soil that retains heat and ensures a consistent water supply for the vines, even in dry summers. The result is Rieslings with an unusual texture and excellent aging potential.

In the glass, the wine displays delicate stone fruit aromas – pear, white apple – with floral hints and a fine minerality. The acidity is precisely integrated, never harsh, but rather silky. Medium to full body, long, spicy finish with a slight salinity.
