Weingut P.J.Kühn Riesling Hallgartener Hendelberg Erste Lage Bio 2024

From one of Hallgarten’s steepest and most distinctive sites, this organic Erste Lage Riesling brings together mountain-grown freshness, old vines and the mineral character of weathered phyllite. Hendelberg’s high-altitude, sharply sloping terrain gives the wine a more concentrated, structured style than the softer landscapes often associated with the Rheingau.

Tasting Notes
The nose is layered with herbs, white flowers and chamomile, alongside ripe apple and citrus. Earthy, stony notes add a distinctly mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is deep and concentrated yet remains clear and lively, with juicy fruit, fine structure and rounded, refreshing acidity that carries through to a long finish. Its balance of acidity, concentration and mineral character gives it the structure to develop in bottle. It can be enjoyed with some air now or cellared for further evolution; the exact drinking window will depend on the vintage and storage conditions.

Production
Hendelberg lies northeast of Hallgarten, climbing toward the Taunus at around 300 metres above sea level, with slopes reaching 44%. Its weathered phyllite-slate soils and Riesling vines, reported to be up to 46 years old, shape the site’s distinctive mineral profile. The vineyard is organically farmed; the producer’s Rieslings are described as spending around a year on their lees, though specific harvest and vinification details for this vintage are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 10–12°C, with a little time in the glass; if the wine seems reserved, give it 20–30 minutes of air rather than an extended decant. Its freshness and mineral depth suit roast poultry, pork, freshwater fish, shellfish and dishes with herbs or earthy vegetables. The wine’s structure also makes it a versatile partner for richer, savoury foods.

Producer
Weingut P.J. Kühn is a family estate in the Rheingau, a region with a long tradition of Riesling production.
