Bechtheimer -S- Trocken

2011 Rheinhessen Riesling

Weingut Oek.-Rat Johann Geil I. Erben Bechtheimer -S- Trocken is a splendid expression of Riesling from the esteemed Rheinhessen region. This 2011 vintage showcases a bright white color that invites the eye. On the palate, it delivers a refreshing acidity that dances alongside a medium-bodied structure, offering a delightful balance. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of juicy stone fruit and crisp green apple, which harmonize beautifully with the wine's inherent dryness. This exquisite Riesling presents subtle hints of minerality, characteristic of its terroir, and leaves a mouthwatering finish that lingers, making it an ideal companion for a range of culinary delights.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
