Dreissigacker

Rheinhessen | Bechtheim

Jochen Dreissigacker has the extraordinary privilege of calling first-class holdings in Geyersberg, Kirchspiel, and Morstein his own. Jochen’s wines offer a sharply focused lens onto the specificity of Rheinhessen’s terroirs while also being singular statements of personality. They are the product of thoughtful, organic farming combined with patient, deliberate cellar work. The results are wines of depth and concentration, with scintillating tension among fruit, ripe acidity, and mineral structure, built to age. Their appeal to trocken devotees will be obvious. Their appeal at the table will be, too.

Dreissigacker 2013 Riesling Brut

This is a blend of single sites Heilig-Kreuz in Bechtheim and Rothenstein in Westhofen. The grapes are pre-harvested as a means to calculate the aromas and sugars of each block and are then fermented for this sekt. Naturally, because the grapes are picked earlier, they have higher acid content. This wine spends a minimum of 12 months on the lees, 15% of which is aged in oak.
