Description:
Winemaker Johannes Geil-Bierschenk farms 30 hectares of Riesling in the village of Bechtheim, and is emblematic of the new generation of winemakers in the Rheinhessen region of Germany. So much so that back in 2013 he was awarded the title of “Best Dry Riesling Producer” for the region. Dry, expressive and aromatic, his Riesling is considered a benchmark for the price range. This is achieved via a combination of old vines, lower yields and a quality rather than quantity-first approach. To Johannes, aroma is the most important characteristic of his wines. So if you do get a chance to open a bottle, make sure you take time out to savour the bouquet.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of citrus fruits, lime, white peach, floral undertones, and a hint of mint. Deliciously accessible on the palate, where the contrast between the fine acids and the fruit gives the wine a wonderful juiciness. 

Enjoyable not only as an aperitif but also goes well with fresh appetisers. Think of a carpaccio of salmon or tuna with roasted sesame, citrus vinaigrette, and spring onions or a fresh salad of prawns.
