Riesling

Descriptions of Riesling overflow with praise. It is called the most important white grape, one of the 'cépages nobles', the French term for the world's noblest varieties, and the 'queen of white wines'. The countless synonyms in many languages readily suggest how widespread it is. Exactly where this exceptional grape's success story began remains unclear, although it most probably originated in the Rhine Valley. Historical documents record trade in the old variety there. Even if its birthplace is unknown, DNA analysis has identified its parents. In this special case, there are said to have been three: a wild vine, Traminer and white Heunisch. We will leave the morals of this 'ménage à trois' unjudged; in sensory terms, however, it is a highlight. Fruity aromas including apricot, peach and citrus, with harmonious acidity, body and extract: that is Riesling in the glass. The grape ripens slowly and late, making northern areas with heat-retaining soils, such as the Rhine, Mosel and Saar valleys, the Palatinate and Alsace, particularly suitable. It is thus selective about site, while making comparatively modest demands on soil composition. The range of Rieslings on offer consequently extends from uncomplicated everyday wines to award-winning wines of the highest quality.

The Riesling from Weingut Hemer is truly typical of the variety and floral. Lemony on the palate with lively acidity.

Weingut Hemer

The Hemer family has been growing vines for four generations in Abenheim in Rheinhessen, not far from historic Worms. After several years of experience with integrated cultivation, they decided in 2004 to work consistently with nature and convert the estate to organic farming. The Hemer family comprises siblings Stefan, Gaby and Andreas, together with their father Hans and mother Adele. The wines have been fully organically certified since 2006, and the estate is an active member of Ecovin, the federal association for organic viticulture. The family's philosophy is infectious: above all, their wines should be enjoyable, and to achieve that they must taste good.
