Kesseler Riesling Rüdesheimer Bischofsberg Erste Lage Trocken

Winemaker August Kesseler on the winery

“We believe great wines should express where they come from. Based in the Rheingau, we work with two grape varieties that have helped put this region on the international wine map: Riesling and Spätburgunder. Our vineyards are spread across exceptional, officially classified Erste (Premier Cru) and Grosse Lagen (Grand Cru). By paying close attention to each site and its individual character, we create wines that combine elegance with depth. For us, Riesling is all about precision, finesse and, above all, an effortless flow on the palate.”

And on Rheingau, Germany

“The Bischofsberg vineyard in Rüdesheim has sandy loam soils rich in Taunus quartzite. This gives our Riesling its distinctive precision and mineral tension. We aim for a wine in which ripe yellow fruit meets lively acidity and a refined, almost saline minerality. Think peach, apricot and citrus, followed by a long, fresh finish. The wine has concentration and depth, yet remains elegant and beautifully balanced. For us, that is the strength of this distinctive Erste Lage (Premier Cru).”
