Oestrich Rosengarten Riesling GG

The Rosengarten vineyard is an old monopole site directly adjacent to the Spreitzer winery – surrounded by historic dry stone walls that store heat and shape the microclimate of the plot. The result is a Riesling that stylistically is more reminiscent of the Côte de Beaune than the classic Rheingau style.

The Spreitzer family has cultivated their vineyards in Oestrich for generations and is among the most reliable producers in the Rheingau. Their focus is on precise hand-harvesting, gentle vinification, and long aging periods – the foundation for the high extract density that characterizes the Rosengarten wine.

In the glass, this Riesling reveals itself with soft, integrated acidity and pronounced saline minerality. Aromas of ripe quince and white peach are underpinned by a delicate herbal note. Medium to full-bodied, with a creamy texture and a long, saline finish. This is not a wine for impatient drinkers: the high extract needs time to fully develop. Drinking window from 2026, potential until 2035+.

Recommendation: Veal sweetbreads with caper butter, grilled turbot, or a mature Comté cheese. Serving temperature 12–14 °C.
