Künstler Kirchenstück Im Stein Riesling Erste Lage

A Riesling that shows what Hochheim is capable of: mineral, dense, with a precision rarely found so directly in the Rheingau.

Weingut Künstler has been one of the most reliable addresses in the Rheingau for decades. Gunter Künstler manages his vineyards in Hochheim with a clear focus on terroir expression – and the Kirchenstück Im Stein is his flagship among the First Growths. The soil: heavy clay over limestone, which gives the wines an unmistakable structure and depth that clearly distinguishes them from the more slate-driven Mosel Rieslings.

In the glass, the wine shows aromas of white vineyard peach, ripe pear, and a hint of citrus bitterness. The acidity is present but integrated – no sharpness, but a long, animating pull that carries the finish. Dry-vinified, with a fruit richness that gives the wine creaminess without breaking the tension.
