Riesling Charter

A classic Rheingau Riesling with bite: dry, firm and yet carried by ripe fruit — the Charta concept in its original idea.

The Spreitzer winery has been rooted in Oestrich-Winkel for generations and is one of the most reliable wineries in the Rheingau. The Riesling Charta follows in the tradition of the Charta association, which established dry Rheingau Riesling as a distinct style in the 1980s: minerally characterized, high in acidity, and uncompromising in its approachability.

In the glass, it shines a vibrant pale yellow. The nose is initially restrained—a hint of blackcurrant, followed by yellow apple and a touch of mango. On the palate, its true character reveals itself: brilliant, vibrant acidity with a mineral foundation, barely perceptible residual sweetness, and a long finish with a saline aftertaste. Not a wine for quiet evenings—one for substantial meals.

Pairs well with freshwater fish from the Rhine , pike-perch or pike in butter sauce, but also with boiled beef or a mature Tomme cheese. Serving temperature 10–12 °C. Has aging potential.
