Wine description:
Crystal-clear and pale yellow in appearance. The nose is lightly floral, with beautiful notes of ripe green apple. On the palate, this Riesling is intensely concentrated and impressively powerful. The dry finish is long and persistent, showcasing a layered and structured profile. A wine with excellent ageing potential. 15% of the blend is aged in oak, the rest in stainless steel.

Winery:
Jochen Dreissigacker is the current owner and winemaker of this now-iconic family estate in Rheinhessen. He’s a textbook example of how to transform a traditional wine business into a cutting-edge success story. Thanks to his vision and innovative drive, Weingut Dreissigacker now ranks among Germany’s elite producers — and is wildly popular with the next generation of wine lovers. In May 2022, Jochen hosted a tasting event in Hamburg attended by 10,000 people.

His approach was methodical: first understand the true potential of the vineyards, then adapt the winemaking style accordingly. His Rieslings are concentrated and precise, while his Chardonnays have become serious contenders to those from Burgundy. What sets Dreissigacker apart is his rare combination of top-tier quality and modern, approachable marketing. On social media, no German winery has a stronger presence.
