The Rheingau Riesling 101 opens with a bright, pure and delicate Riesling bouquet with floral and crunchy stony aromas. Lush and elegant on the palate, this is a charming, very delicate and elegant Riesling whose grapes are sourced in the Lenchen, Doosberg and Hendelberg. The wine combines the complexity and spicy elegance of Oestrich's terroirs with the finesse and filigreed structure of the Hendelberg. There is 11% alcohol and a long, intense, complex finish.

"A prototypical Rheingau Riesling with the combination of crisp elegance and juicy white tree fruit character that made these wines famous. Not enormously concentrated, but the barely off-dry balance is spot on. Long, very clean finish, where the minerality accentuates the freshness. A cuvee of wines from the Rosengarten, Lenchen and Hendelberg sites. Drink now. Screw cap."
