The wine region of Rheingau
Historic cradle of great German Riesling: age-worthy whites of rare precision, from taut dry (Trocken) to botrytised sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, TBA) with notes of peach, citrus, acacia honey, noble petrol and slatey minerality. Riesling king on ~80% of the vineyard. Also Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir, 8%), notably the fine, silky Assmannshausen. 3,100 ha on south-facing slopes overlooking the Rhine (Hesse).
The word of the wine: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
