Dr. Heyden Rheinhessen Riesling Trocken Alte Reben Oppenheimer Sacktrager 750 ML

Made from 50 year old vines, this is an astonishing introduction to Silvaner. Wonderfully dry and nervey, the wine shows great peach and nectarine fruit qualitites with a bright mineral finish. About the producer This is an exciting new estate, which has been established with the vineyards and assistance of Friedrich Baumann, who has now retired. Dr Karl Heyden founded the estate in 1999 with his wife, Anita and their two sons, Frank and Harry. Frank has completed his studies at the famous Geisenheim viticultural institute, and has already convinced the German critics. This young talented generation is already crafting great wines from these highly rated vineyards. Sadly, Dr Karl Heyden died in 2005. Traditional and meticulously detailed cultivation of the vines with strict pruning, careful soil & foliage management, low yields and selective hand-picking, are coupled with modern technology in the cellars, fermentation taking place in stainless steel under controlled temperature conditions.
