Künstler Riesling feinherb

Off-Dry Riesling from Hochheim — that means: lively acidity meets a hint of residual sweetness, and both remain in balance. Not a heavy, not an arbitrary wine, but one with clear character.

The Weingut Künstler is one of the most well-known addresses in the Rheingau. Franz Michel Künstler manages sites around Hochheim am Main — a place that was already famous for its Rieslings in the 19th century thanks to its south-facing vineyards and continental climate. The soils of loess loam and limestone give the wines their own earthy texture.

In the glass, the Off-Dry shows aromas of white peach and citrus peel, plus a fresh hint of apricot. The acidity is present but not sharp — it is softly caught by the light residual sweetness. The finish is medium-long, fresh, and slightly mineral.
