Weingut Heiligenblut Riesling Kapellenberg 2021

Weingut Heiligenblut’s 2021 Kapellenberg Riesling is a distinctive site wine from Rheinhessen, shaped by the dark volcanic rock beneath its vines. Made in a low-intervention style, it stands apart from a more conventional expression of the region’s Riesling while retaining the lively acidity the grape is known for.

Tasting Notes
The available tasting description points to a dark, deep and ripe aromatic profile, with the melaphyr soils lending a pronounced sense of place. On the palate, expect the characteristic Riesling acidity to take centre stage, balanced by the wine’s ripe character and extended time on the lees. Its acidity and structure may allow it to develop in bottle, though the producer’s suggested drinking window is not specified.

Production
The Riesling comes from the Kapellenberg site, where the vines grow on dark melaphyr, a volcanic rock that contributes to the wine’s terroir-led character. Christian and Martin Hannemann take a low-intervention approach, adapting their work to the vintage and vineyard rather than following a fixed formula. This wine spent an extended period on its lees, was bottled without filtration and received only a minimal addition of sulphur. Harvesting details and the precise vinification method are not provided.

Food & Serving
Its bright Riesling acidity should work well with dishes such as freshwater fish, roast poultry, pork or gently spiced Asian food. Serve chilled, around 8–10°C. A short period in the glass can help the wine open up; decanting is optional rather than essential.
