Wine in Black Riesling-GG-Paket

Fred Prinz ist der Rising Star unter den Riesling-Interpreten im Rheingau. So ein Meisterwerk wie das 2021er-GG wird hier nicht jedes Jahr gelesen. So viel Finesse, Eleganz, Mineralität und Terroir: Fred Prinz hat einfach einen Lauf!

For the challenging 2021 vintage, this is an enormously structured and compact wine, even though the body is sleeker than most wines of this category from the preceding vintages. A wealth of wild-berry and herb character. Very racy finish with a slew of wet-earth minerality and stacks of fine tannin. Drink or hold.

Vinum kürte Achim von Oetinger zum „Winzer des Jahres 2021“ und schwärmte: „Seine besten Rieslinge platzieren sich mühelos nicht nur an der Rheingauer, sondern auch an der deutschen Spitze.“ Auch Wein-Plus zählt den Rheingauer VDP-Winzer mit 4 Sternen zu den besten Produzenten Deutschlands.

What a beautiful and expressive nose of golden autumn fruits with a delicate flinty note. Super elegant and precise, this gracefully glides over the medium-bodied palate in spite of the serious concentration and stacks of fine tannins. What an expansive yet refined finish! This must have a healthy analytical acidity, but it is remarkably gentle.

The 2022 Riesling Erbacher Hohenrain Grosses Gewächs is from the parcel located between the westernmost parcel used for Mineral and the easterly parcels used for Alte Reben. The nose does not want to give away much. The palate, however, comes in with a disarming gentleness, held and contained by that fine, graceful phenolic frame that delivers lemon brightness and freshness. Beautiful concentration reinforces its citrus vibe, driving it deeper into the soil. It leaves you with an essence of beautiful citrus purity that creeps under your skin.

Das traditionsreiche VDP-Weingut Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch – Erben Thanisch gehört mit 4 Trauben bei Gault&Millau und 4 Sternen bei Falstaff zu Deutschlands besten Erzeugern. Sofia Thanisch und ihre Töchter Juliane und Christina führen die fast 400-jährige Geschichte der Familie erfolgreich fort.

Cool and minty but with ample white peach fruit, this is a very elegant dry Mosel riesling with a wonderful racy vitality and stacks of wet stone character on the very focused, medium-bodied palate. Underplayed power and concentration, then a super-elegant and precise finish.
