€20.25
Out of stock (back in stock October)
Description
Terrific dry Riesling from the Rhine valley made for everyday drinking.
Fruit is sourced from the Ress family vineyards in the Rheingau and Rheinhessen, fermented in stainless steel and left to rest for 4 months before bottling.
Greeny straw in colour with a trademark Riesling nose of green apple, peach, mango and lemongrass, the palate is punchy and zesty from the off, lip-smacking grapefruit softening out to stone-fruits, mango and apricot, on the mid-palate, with a cool minerally backbone carrying the flavours through on a long, tangy finish that leaves you craving the next sip (or maybe that’s just us). Yum!

Balthasar Ress set up Gasthof Ress, an inn and eatery in the idyllic village of Hattenheim on the Rhine river, in 1870, laying the foundation for a long gastronomic tradition as well as the family winery that fourth and fifth generation Stefan and Christian Ress manage today. It was Christian began the process of organic conversion of the vineyards in 2016, with over 50 hectares making Balthasar Ress the largest organic winery in the state of Hesse.
No other wine-growing region in the world is characterized by just one grape variety as much as the Rheingau by Riesling. So it is with Balthasar Ress, one of the few wineries that own vineyards in prestigious locations across the entire Rheingau, from Assmannshausen to Erbach. Riesling (90%) and Pinot Noir dominate the vineyards, producing world class wines while proudly protecting the flora and fauna that share the land. "We create fine Rieslings and fine Pinot Noirs for wine enthusiasts worldwide and always follow Balthasar's maxim: Fein Sei Der Wein!" (fine be the wine!). And so it is.
