Riesling Muschelkalk

The Riesling Muschelkalk from Spreitzer shows what the Rheingau riverbank vineyards can achieve: a wine with clear structure, beautiful melt, and the varietal-typical freshness that distinguishes Riesling from the Rhine.

The Spreitzer winery in Oestrich-Winkel is one of the reliable addresses in the Rheingau. The family farms vineyards directly on the banks of the Rhine, where deep shell limestone soils allow the roots to drive deep into the rock. This mineral subsoil gives the wines their density and characteristic pull.

Bright straw yellow in the glass. On the nose, fresh peach, ripe quince, and a hint of citrus zest. Juicy on the palate, with lively acidity that keeps the wine tight without appearing too edgy. The finish is medium-long, with a fine mineral note.
