Winkel Riesling, August Eser 2022

White Wine from Germany - Rheingau

4 Reviews

A fine, dry village riesling from the Rheingau. Lots of flavour and character with a lemon-and-lime twist and lingering salinity. There is citrus and even a touch of mint on the palate and it is refreshing with or without food. Winkel is one of the top villages in the Rheingau. The wine falls under the VDP category called Ortswein, which literally means village wine and so comes from several plots.

August Eser

This family run estate embraces 11 hectares of vines at 17 sites and on various soils - sand, loess, marl and clay, mostly on the south-facing slopes overlooking the Rhine in the crook of the Rheingau elbow. Désirée Eser Freifrau zu Knyphausen runs the estate with her husband Dodo Freiherr zu Knyhausen and both are winemakers, having studied oenology at the renowned Geisenheim school. Désirée took over the running of the estate from her parents to become the 10th generation winemaker of the family. They nurture their riesling and pinot noir vines taking great care to be as sustainable as possible, eschewing the use of pesticides, and using solar power at their 17th century winery and cellars in Oestrich.

This is the kind of wine you might skip over in the list while browsing, but I'd urge you to stop and order at least one bottle. It's a village wine (VDP Ortswein) from Winkel, one of the top villages in the Rheingau, and offers great value and typicity. There's a weight of juicy limey fruit, and a faint saline tang adding complexity.
