Hallgarten Hendelberg Riesling

The Hendelberg is one of the best single vineyards in Hallgarten in the Rheingau — and Spreitzer extracts a Riesling from this sandstone-loam soil that maintains power and finesse in a rare balance.

The Spreitzer winery in Oestrich-Winkel has been cultivating its Rheingau sites for generations with a consistent quality standard. The Hendelberg is sheltered and south-facing; the sandstone and loam soils give the wine its characteristic melt and a firm mineral substance.

In the glass, ripe peach and apricot appear, underpinned by apple and a stony-salty minerality. The body is firm, yet the structure is unusually delicate and velvety — no edges, no harsh acidity, but an invigorating freshness that runs through the entire sip. In the finish, the herbal minerality lingers for a long time, accompanied by a delicate extract sweetness.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.
Pairs with fried salmon trout with herb butter, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or mild goat cheese.
