2016 BERG ROSENECK GG Rüdesheim Riesling dry Katerloch 0.75L

The BERG ROSENECK vineyard is characterized by striking granite boulders covered with wild roses, rosehips, and blackthorn – hence its original name "Rosenhecke" (Rose Hedge). The first vineyards were established here around 1200, initially stretching up the mountain in small terraces. In the 18th century, fortified paths with walls along the mountainside were built.

The slate-quartzite soils with loess loam deposits produce characterful, well-structured wines with pronounced acidity and excellent aging potential. The steep vineyards, with slopes of up to 50%, are largely cultivated using cable winches and benefit from their south-facing position and the protection afforded by the Taunus ridge. Particularly in the western section, known as the "Katerloch," they are among the steepest vineyards in Germany.
