Wine profile
The site, with an astonishing slope of about 40 percent, oriented south-southwest, and the colourful shimmer of the phyllite slate, is an exceptional loner in the Rheingau region. The vineyards extend to an altitude of 300 metres. The steep slope position makes optimal use of the spring and autumn sun and moderates the summer radiation heat, creating an individual growth curve for the vines.
Expansion information
The entire process, from the hand harvest to the gentle whole bunch pressing, is of high quality and meticulous, and likewise the natural fermentation takes place with the wine's own yeasts. A 16-month maturation on the full lees in large wooden barrels rounds off the wine.
Colour scheme
A bright golden yellow, sparkling in its markings.
Scent
The 2021 Hallgarten Hendelberg Erste Lage is inviting and fragrant with pronounced fruit notes of mirabelle, vineyard peach, lime, orange and exotic notes reminiscent of mango and passion fruit. There is also a distinctive herbal and floral aroma that evokes associations of lemon balm, elderflower and verbena, followed by a cool stony nuance and a hint of shellfish.
Taste
On the palate, one encounters a pure juiciness that meets a precise and extremely invigorating acidity. A Riesling full of energy and expression, whose intense minerality is fabulous and whose potential for maturation is far from exhausted. This wine is only at the beginning of its development and promises greatness. Those who want to taste this jewel already in its youthful phase will be well advised to decant it a few hours before enjoying it.
Food suggestions
The pairing possibilities for this exquisite bottle are wide-ranging. A juicy lemon thyme risotto, scallops in a crispy puff pastry coating or finely sliced red mullet fillets steamed in aluminium foil with a slice of lemon and pousse pierre seaweed harmonise perfectly with this wine.

About German Wines
Germany is the world’s northernmost fine wine producing region and thus requires its vines to endure some of the coldest temperatures. Fortunately, the country’s star variety, Riesling, does well in cooler climates and can survive even these freezing winters.
Germany Riesling is classified by ripeness at harvest which is also used to indicate the wine’s level of residual sugar. Picking earlier means the grapes have less time to ripen and the corresponding wines will be on the drier side; while picking later gives the grapes the opportunity full ripen and produce a lusciously sweet Riesling. The classifications from driest to sweetest: Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein (ice wine). While not as common to age white wines outside of Chardonnay, top tier German Rieslings can be aged for decades.
Other notable white grape varieties produced in Germany include Müller-Thurgau (a cross between Riesling and Madelaine Royale in the search for varieties that could withstand the extreme temperatures), Grauburguner (Pinot Gris) and Weissburguner (Pinot Blanc). The cooler German climate leads to earlier harvesting in general and gives German wines a distinctive character of higher acidity.
Historically red wine has always been harder to produce in the German climate. However, Pinot Noir grown in slightly warmer pockets of the country, has been highly successful in recent times. Going by the German name, Spätburgunder, German Pinot Noir can be elegant, structured and have vibrant acidity.
