Sourced from vines planted throughout the Wechsler’s top vineyards with ages ranging from 11 to 26 years of age. Kathatrina’s Riesling Trocken is among the best values coming out of the Rheinhessen (and, perhaps, in all of Germany) .

Katharina Wechsler grew up in and around what has become the undisputed top area for producing dry Riesling in all of Germany. However, her family sold off their grapes planted in Kirschpiel, Morstein and an adjacent monopole vineyard called Benn. After studying winemaking in Oppenheim and working with the icon Klaus Peter Keller, Katharina is now making incredible wine from her family’s inherited treasures.

Katharina Wechsler’s family holdings in the Reinhessen are enough to make any lover of Riesling salivate. In addition to parcels in the well-known GG vineyards Kirchspiel and Morstein, her family is the sole owner of a vineyard located between the two iconic sites called Benn.

After university in Paris and a career in Berlin, Katharina returned home in 2009 to her family’s vineyards and decided to take up a career in winemaking, enrolling in a local program to study viticulture and oenology. It was during this period that Katharina met and worked with Riesling’s most revered name: Klaus Peter Keller. His influence and advice were paramount for Katharina, as they share and work close by with some of the top vineyards in all of Germany.

The Weschler’s own 16 hectares of vines split between Riesling, Burgundian varietals, and some local grapes that Katharina is making into some unique bottlings – her lovely range of bottlings from the variety Scheurebe come immediately to mind.

Working towards healthier vineyards is a huge priority for Katharina whose first official organic certified year was 2021; she’s also implemented some biodynamic practices the year prior. Katharina’s career and wines have been inspiring for us and we’re excited to continue to follow her wines.

The 2022 Riesling Trocken offers a pure and intense, limestone-driven bouquet with good intensity and spiciness as well as lemon aromas. On the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, fresh, dense and sustainable Riesling with good intensity and power on the finish. A very characterful dry Riesling that is based on the fruit of the Benn but also from the Steingrube and Kirchspiel, where the vines stopped growing for a couple of weeks during summer before the September rain gave the fruit some juice that characterizes this respectable wine. It was bottled in March with 12.5% alcohol.
