The 2022 Hallgartener Jungfer Riesling trocken VDP.Grosses Gewächs from Weingut Prinz is a finely tuned Rheingau Riesling with real site character and serious depth. Crafted from a historic Grand Cru vineyard, it combines cool minerality, precision, and impressive aging potential in a style that speaks clearly of its place.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, this wine opens with a very pure, focused nose of flint, citrus zest, and cool herbs. Subtle smoky notes and a stony edge add complexity, while the overall impression remains elegant and restrained. On the palate it is taut, crystalline, and brilliantly precise, with vibrant acidity and a distinctly saline mineral streak. The wine shows tension and length rather than overt richness, and its structured, cool-climate style gives it excellent aging potential over the coming years, likely gaining further depth and nuance with bottle age.

Production
The Hallgartener Jungfer is a historic Rheingau site with quartzite-rich soils and a sheltered exposition that helps produce especially fresh, mineral-driven Rieslings. Weingut Prinz farms biologically and biodynamically, and the fruit comes from old vines in the best part of the vineyard, hand-harvested with careful selection. A portion of the grapes undergoes skin contact for added structure before spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel and large oak casks. The wine then rests on the full lees until bottling, followed by bottle maturation, all of which contributes to its layered texture and precise, site-driven profile.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for sushi and sashimi, grilled zander with lemon butter, and poultry dishes with herbs. It also works beautifully with goat cheese or vegetarian plates featuring fennel and citrus. Serve chilled at around 10-12°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a short period in the glass will help the wine open up.

Weingut Prinz is one of the Rheingau producers known for an exacting, terroir-focused approach, with a strong commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture.
