The palate is refreshing, with juicy acidity and a subtle minerality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe estate has 45 hectares under vine, 55% of which are Riesling growing on gentle hillsides with shallow deposits of loess and loam overlying a bedrock of limestone. Jochen's approach in the vineyard as well as in the cellar is simple: to intervene as little as possible. He reduced the yields in the vineyard to ensure excellent fruit and better concentration of flavours and has identified the best parcels of vines, which he vinifies separately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the hand-harvested grapes were macerated for up to 18 hours. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks for four weeks at 16-18°C to retain the variety's vibrant and pure primary fruit aromatics. The wine remained in stainless steel tanks for five to seven months prior to bottling, followed by a further two months in bottle before release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJochen Dreissigacker farms 45 hectares of certified organic vineyards in the Rheinhessen, over half of which are planted with Riesling. Jochen describes organic winemaking as “the artisan path to purity” and has also implemented biodynamic principles to create optimal conditions for his grapes to thrive. Focussing on improving vineyard practices is, as Jochen explains, “a long-term investment in nature and wines”. This extends further to reducing yields in the vineyard by creating healthier soils that reduce vine vigour. “The path to any truly great wine is to limit the number of grapes that are allowed to ripen,” says Jochen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/dreissigacker-wein.de\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64571386429817,"sku":"105100825","price":16.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/DreissigackerOrganicRheinhessenRieslingTrocken.jpg?v=1789396701","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/dreissigacker-organic-rheinhessen-riesling-trocken-2025","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
