Riesling GG Niersteiner Hipping

A Riesling that doesn't hide its origin from the Roter Hang (Red Slope) – and doesn't need to. The Niersteiner Hipping GG from St. Antony comes from the so-called "Käferberg," a north-facing section of the vineyard that produces cool, finely structured wines even in hot vintages.

The St. Antony winery cultivates some of the best parcels in the Niersteiner Roter Hang, one of the most historically significant winegrowing regions in Rheinhessen. The red slate of these steep slopes shapes the minerality of the wines like almost no other soil in the region.

The nose reveals apple fruit, accompanied by a distinct flinty minerality. On the palate, it is clear and delicately juicy – ​​the acidity supports the wine without being sharp. Herbal and yeasty notes add depth to the fruit profile. The body is firm with noticeable backbone; a touch of extract sweetness provides balance without compromising its playful lightness.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Drinking window: 2025–2033. Pairs well with pike-perch fillet on beurre blanc, goat cheese with herbs, or a classic vitello tonnato.
