'Very fresh and bright with lovely lemon and lime fruit. Crisp with some fresh minerality with precision and good acidity. Linear and pure.' 89/100, wineanorak

Vinification Details.

The wine harvest took place from October till November. In order to receive a fresh fruit of the wine an intensive negatively selection was needed. The grapes were then carefully pressed in the grape reception station of the estate. The fermentation in cooled high-grade steel tanks underlines again the freshness and the fruitiness of the wine. Clearly recognizable is that the wines mature on the lees. Thereby they intensify their aroma and create a well-balanced and very tender gustatory effect.

Producer Information

Donatus Prinz von Hessen is a very engaging and down-to-earth guy, and infact genuinely royal (436th in line to the British throne), and his wines are great! Donatus took charge of the family estate in 2005 when it was going through a slightly difficult phase and turned its fortunes around - they decided to change everything and got rid of 30% of the vineyards. Now the estate is down to 35 hectares, with 70% of these first-growth sites (Erstes Gewachs). The focus is now on mainly dry-styled Riesling wines. The majority of wines are made in a dry style, plus also a single vineyard, representing 2% of production, made in a fruity style.


Regional info.

Donatus Prinz von Hessen is genuinely royal (and 436th in line to the British throne), he's a very engaging, down-to-earth guy. And his wines are great!

Donatus took charge of the family estate in 2005 when it was going through a slightly difficult phase and turned it around. - they decided to change everything, substituted the whole team and got rid of 30% of the vineyards. Now the estate is down to 35 hectares, with 70% of these first-growth sites (Erstes Gewächs). The focus is now on mainly dry-styled wines from the Riesling variety. There's a single vineyard, representing 2% of production, made in a fruity style, but the rest is dry. There's a special emphasis on Kabinett. ‘Honest Kabinett encompases the style of the Rheingau,' says Donatus.

The grapes of this vivid juicy wine originate from the vineyards surrounding the Johannisberg. The Riesling grapes grow as well on loessic soil with gritty structure as on sandy loam soil. Warm summer months with low temperatures at night pro-vide ideal conditions for the cultivation of fresh Riesling.
