Künstler Hochheimer Hölle Riesling dry 0.375L

The Hochheimer Hölle is one of the most well-known Riesling sites in the Rheingau — and the Weingut Künstler has been a permanent address there for decades. This half-bottle contains more character than the format would suggest.

Gunter Künstler manages his Rheingau vineyards with a focus on site-typical precision. The Hölle site is located directly on the Main, benefits from a warm-continental microclimate and deep loess loam soils over limestone — this gives the Riesling ripeness and grip at the same time.

In the glass, it shows yellow apple and ripe pear, plus lemon peel and a fine mineral undertone. On the palate, dense and concentrated, the acidity well-integrated and not sharp. The finish is fresh, with a light salty-spicy note that carries the length.

Drinking temperature: 10–12 °C.
Pairs well with pan-fried freshwater fish, a creamy risotto with lemon zest, or mild goat cheese. The half-bottle is ideal for a good dinner for two when you don't want to open a whole bottle.
