Rheingau - The Riesling legend since 1337

Weingut Schloss Reinhartshausenhas been a part of Rheingau wine culture for more than 680 years and is appreciated by wine lovers from all over the world. Even today, a breath of this long history still wafts through our walls. Everything breathes Riesling! Almost…

Since 2013, we have not only respected and preserved tradition with enthusiasm, but have also evolved in line with the times. It is a matter close to our hearts to work strictly according to ecological principles with nature and fauna and we are therefore proud to be a certified organic winery since 2021.

Rheingau Riesling dry

This wine is refreshing and hearty at the same time. It convinces with finesse, elegance and aromatic diversity. Just like a real Rheingau! The fruit flavors of peach, apple and apricot are carried by its acid framework, coupled with subtle mineral notes to a long finish. Enjoy this wine with mussels, a vesper or simply solo!

TOBIAS Lexi's Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Lexi's Estate, Mendocino

From 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown in the cool-climate vineyards of Mendocino, our seventh vintage captures the clarity and vibrancy. The nose opens with lifted notes of lemon zest, Persian lime, and lemon verbena interwoven with subtle white florals and soft stone fruits. On the palate, a clean, crisp structure carries through with refreshing acidity and salinity, evoking a coastal minerality. Hints of underripe pineapple, lemon, and white stone fruit provide mid-palate texture and brightness, finishing with precision in the long finish. Winemakers Toby Forman and his daughter Lexi are proud to present their seventh estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc from Potter Valley.

Bouquet:  Intensely fruity with notes of blackberry jam, flowers like roses and a liquorice finish.

Palate: The wine has a sweet entry, moderate firm structure, elegant, fresh and soft tannins, fruit echoes, long and lingering finish.

Elaboration

Each variety is harvested and fermented separately. Pre-maceration in cold, later maceration and fermentation. Malolactic fermentation, additional racking, blending, clarification, slight tartaric stabilization and final filtering before bottling.

Gastronomy and recommendations

This is a very versatile wine that combines very well with fish and meat. Excellent with cod in tomato sauce ratatouille and vegetables.Traditional meat recipes, such as pork loin stuffed with dried fruit, fricandeau and other stews, combine perfectly with this fresh red wine.

he Farmhouse Red from the prestigious and historic David Hill Winery is something of an enigma. Each year they maintain Farmhouse’s consistency and affordability for everyday consumption.
