The name derives from the Middle High German \u003ci\u003eword \u0026quot;Stiege\u003c\/i\u003e ,\u0026quot; meaning a steep path leading through heavy clay soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The vines here were planted more than 60 years ago. Old vines root deeply, produce little, but concentrate a lot. Künstler ages the wine in large oak casks – no new wood to overpower the wine, but rather a quiet maturation that brings out the texture and minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the Stielweg reveals what Hochheimer Riesling from clay soils is capable of: ripe pear and quince, a spicy herbal note, beneath which lies a firm mineral core. The acidity is present but integrated – the wine already appears round and complex in its youth, yet possesses the backbone for many more years in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eDishes:\u003c\/b\u003e Veal medallions with herb butter, pike-perch on leek vegetables, mature Comté cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 10–12 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/b\u003e now until 2033+\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weingut Künstler","offers":[{"title":"2024","offer_id":52694916497744,"sku":"V05269","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2025","offer_id":53093137219920,"sku":"V05269-2025","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/vinoscout_k_c_bcnstler_stielweg_riesling_alte_reben_erste_lage_trocken.webp?v=1771238005","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/kunstler-stielweg-riesling-alte-reben-erste-lage-trocken","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
