A multifaceted Riesling, versatile with or without food. Redolent of cut grass and herbs with notes of white blossom and tropical fruit. Balanced and beautifully refreshing.
This Riesling is made from fruit grown on loess-loam and limestone soils in the Rhine valley.
The wine was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, and bottled early, without oak ageing or malolactic fermentation, to preserve freshness.

Now run by the fourth and fifth generations of the family, the company still produces wine under Balthasar's original brand name 'Von Unserm', literally 'from us', a dry, multi-vineyard blend that represents the house style. From their base in Hattenheim, in the epicentre of the Rheingau, Ress control many superb vineyards that are bottled as single-site wines.
