Kunstler Hochheim Kirchenstück Gg Riesling Trocken 2023

Künstler owns 2.4 hectares of the historic Kirchenstück vineyard in Hochheim — a site first mentioned in 1271 as Kirchanger (“parcel near a church”). South-facing and naturally protected from cold northern winds, this Grosse Lage vineyard combines heavy limestone, loamy loess and light sand layers over deep subsoils, yielding Rieslings of incredible finesse and depth.

Hand-picked fruit is destemmed, gently pressed and fermented entirely in large old oak casks. After fermentation, the wine rests on fine lees, building texture and length. The result is a dry Rheingau Riesling that marries elegance and power with a hallmark stony, saline edge.
