Weingut Dreissigacker, Riesling Trocken

One of the up and coming stars of the region, Jochen Dreissigacker focuses on organic farming and representing his incredible holdings in the Rheinhessen.  His vineyards sit alongside local legendary producer Klaus-Peter Keller (where Jochen worked and learned before taking over his family's estate) in the heart of Rheinhessen.  The soils with limestone as well as loam and loess give the wines their unique take on German Riesling.  Since taking over, Jochen has converted the estate to 100% organic farming (certified in 2007), and taken the quality of the wines to an entirely new level.  These are wines of place and life, with incredible energy and power, while still showing elegance and restraint.  The amount of flavor and life packed into each of his bottlings is staggering.  For lovers of Keller, these wines are certainly bound to impress and make friends (as they are also a fraction of the cost).  Full bodied and dry (for Germany, still 6g/L of residual sugar so it's not taking the enamel off your teeth) it is full of taut fruit flavors like grapefruit and candied lime with white peach and pear.

Germany

Western Germany

Pfalz

The Pfalz is Germany’s second-largest wine region (behind Rheinhessen, which it borders to the south). The vineyards are situated between the thickly forested Haardt Mountains and the western bank of the Rhine River, with soils that are rich in loam mixed with sandstone, loess (wind-blown silt), and chalky clay.

Western Germany

Rheinhessen

he Rheinhessen is Germany’s largest-production wine zone and, in comparison to some of the dramatic valleys further north, is a more open landscape of gently rolling hills.

Western Germany

Saar

The Saar River is a tributary of the Mosel (and in-cluded in the broader “Mosel-Saar-Ruwer”) PDO designation with vineyards perched on steep slopes of blue Devonian slate. The rocky soils and cool temperatures of these northerly valleys produce Germany’s most chiseled, high-acid  styles of Riesling.

Southwestern Germany

Baden

Baden, Germany’s southernmost wine region, has a long history with the “Pinot” family. The region’s vineyards were planted by the same Cistercian Monks who established Pinot Noir in Burgundy. Bordered by the Rhine River and the Black Forest, Baden has diverse soils—everything from loess (silt) to volcanic tuff to limestone, the most prized Pinot Noir soil of all.
