Oestricher Doosberg Scharfenstein Riesling VDP 1st Growth
A Riesling that brings the character of its location directly into the glass: mineral, precise, with an acid structure that provides length.
The Spreitzer winery is one of the most reliable names in the Rheingau. The family cultivates vineyards around Oestrich-Winkel, including the Doosberg – one of the classic VDP Erste Lage (Grand Cru) vineyards in the Rheingau. Deep loess loam and quartzite soils, south-facing slopes directly on the Rhine: ideal conditions for Riesling with substance.
In the glass, the Scharfenstein displays ripe yellow peaches and mirabelle plums, underpinned by lime zest and a delicate sparkle of flint. On the palate, it is juicy, with fresh, well-integrated acidity and a long, slightly salty finish – typical for this corner of the Rheingau.
Serving temperature: 10–12 °C . Drinking window until 2030, with potential beyond. At the table, it pairs well with...
- fried pike-perch or trout fillet
- Goat cheese with herbs
- light poultry dishes with lemon jus
