Charta Riesling

2007 Rheingau Riesling

The Weingut Johannishof Charta Riesling from the Rheingau region is a remarkable representation of this beloved varietal, showcasing a splendid balance of elegance and depth. This vintage, hailing from 2007, exhibits a medium body that caresses the palate with a surprisingly rich mouthfeel. The acidity is notably bright and lively, contributing an invigorating freshness that enhances the overall drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of luscious stone fruit, particularly peach and apricot, seamlessly intertwined with hints of citrus zest. A touch of sweetness gives it a dry, food-friendly character, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes. The tannins are delicate, allowing the flavors to shine while providing an enjoyable structure. This Riesling is a true gem, reflecting the terroir of Rheingau with finesse and charm.

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).
