The Niche Selection Hattenheimer Selection is a stunning white wine that hails from the esteemed Rheingau region, known for its exceptional Rieslings. This 2005 vintage showcases a delightful balance of vibrant acidity and a medium-bodied character, making it refreshingly lively on the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with enticing notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and floral undertones that dance harmoniously together. Although it leans towards the off-dry style, there is a wonderful harmony that makes this wine incredibly food-friendly. The wine's exquisite craftsmanship reflects the unique terroir of Rheingau, inviting you to indulge in its rich flavors and layers of complexity with every sip.

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).
