Description
Domdechant Werner, ‘Hochheimer Hölle’ Riesling Kabinett Trocken
The Domdechant Werner winery is located in the municipality of Hochheim in the German Rheingau wine region. Its origins date back to 1780 when the father of Mainz Cathedral Dean Dr. Franz Werner acquired the estate from Count York. Today, the estate is managed by Dr. Franz Werner Michel, who is already the seventh generation of the family. The vineyards comprise 13 hectares of vineyards in the Hochheim sites Domdechaney, Hölle, Kirchenstück, Stein, Stielweg, and Reichestal, all of which are classified as first growths in accordance with the Rheingau Quality Mark Ordinance. With Rheingau powerhouse Kunstler, Domdechant Werner is known for their classically-styled dry Rieslings with ample richness and balancing acidity. The “Hochheimer Hölle” Kabinett Trocken 2014 displays a greenish-gold hue in the glass, with a highly perfumed nose of lime blossom, white peach, petrol, white flowers, green mango, and crushed stones. These flavors carry through to a medium-bodied palate of real substance and mouth-watering acidity. It finishes with a mineral flourish, without any lingering sweetness despite all the generous fruit. The wine is keeping perfect stride with a few years to rest in the bottle. This will be the perfect partner to a wide variety of Thai, Malaysian, and Vietnamese dishes.
