Additional Information

Albrecht Schneider’s maxim has always been absolute devotion to his vineyards and wines, whilst marketing was considered less important. The estate has been owned by the Schneider family for 7 generations, and at vintage time, several generations are at work. 15 hectares in Nierstein belong to the estate, over 40% of which are Riesling. Red sandstone soils are predominant in the sites on the Hipping side of the town, facing the river, which yield rich and flavourful wines, whilst limestone is on the other side with the Paterberg slope. The old underground cellars with wooden casks provide ideal conditions for the traditional production methods. 1995 marked a step forward for the estate when more spacious underground cellars and warehousing facilities were purchased in Nierstein.

Tasting Notes

Hints of pine frond, earth and smoke entice on the nose of this unusual, remarkably Riesling. Semi-sweet in style, it?s rich and creamy on the palate with luscious peach and grapefruit flavors. It?s surprising nuanced too, exposing layers of steel, crushed mineral and acid that meld beautifully through a long finish.
