Dürkheimer Hochbenn Riesling Eiswein

2009 Pfalz Riesling

The Fitz-Ritter Dürkheimer Hochbenn Riesling Eiswein from the Pfalz region is an exquisite white wine that captures the essence of this renowned varietal. This 2009 vintage is a remarkable example of the artistry involved in producing Eiswein, wherein grapes are meticulously harvested at a precise moment when they freeze on the vine, concentrating their sugars and flavors. It presents a luscious profile marked by a medium to full body, alongside a bright acidity that dances on the palate, adding freshness to its character. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring a delightful medley of stone fruits, citrus, and honeyed notes that create a beautifully balanced sweetness. With a subtle dryness that entices the senses, this Eiswein is not just a dessert wine but a complex expression of terroir and winemaking skill, making it a perfect companion for special occasions or simply to savor on its own.

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).
