Riesling Rheingau
One of the greatest locations for the production of Riesling is the miracle mile from Schloss Vollrads to Schloss Johannisberg. On this land the first Riesling vineyards were planted and the first eiswein was made. The fabled racy elegance of Schloss Vollrads traces its wine making tradition to the tenth century. The large private estate has been under the able direction of Dr. Hepp since 1997, and this wine from Schloss Vollrads and purchased grapes is as good as anything he produces in the dryer style. The appelation is Rheingau as it comes from more than one district. The grapes are grown primarily in gravel, sand and slate, rich in minerals with fertile layers of loess. 1,500 cases were made under this label.
