2024 Riesling trocken Clemens Rosenkranz Rheingau 0,75l

The 2024 Riesling trocken from Clemens Rosenkranz is a crisp, terroir-driven Rheingau white that stands out for its precision, elegance, and saline mineral edge. Sourced from the Kostheimer Weiß Erd vineyard in Hochheim, this Lagenwein captures the cool influence of the Main River and the expressive character of old vines rooted in limestone soils.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Riesling shows a bright, pale straw color with a lively, youthful sheen. The nose opens with stone fruit, citrus, and ripe orchard fruit, lifted by a subtle note of beeswax and a faint smoky nuance that adds complexity. On the palate, it is completely dry, juicy yet firmly structured, with fine acidity and a precise mineral tension that gives the wine its backbone. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, with a subtle salty, smoky character that suggests excellent ageing potential over the next several years, developing even more depth and complexity with time.

Production
The grapes come from Hochheim in the eastern Rheingau, specifically the limestone-rich site Kostheimer Weiß Erd, where over 35-year-old vines produce concentrated fruit with a strong sense of place. The fruit is selectively hand-harvested, then spontaneously fermented in stainless steel and aged for eight months on the full lees before being bottled unfiltered, unfined, and with minimal sulfur.

Food & Serving
This is a highly versatile food wine that works beautifully with sushi and sashimi, grilled zander with lemon butter, herb-roasted poultry, or vegetarian dishes featuring fennel and citrus. It also pairs well with goat cheese. Serve it well chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help if you want to open up its mineral nuances.
