Although Riesling accounts for just one third of the vines at this Nierstein estate, it consistently leads the way in the respective vintage series. This is also the case in 2023, where the Pettenthal Rehbacher Steig Sommerseite has once again climbed to the top of the winners’ podium.
And so the tasting notes read: hints of apricot and
peach, very juicy on the palate, overall good tension. The other single vineyard Rieslings
from the old vines in Hipping and Schloss Schwabsburg follow close behind. We particularly recommend the dry Riesling from Roter Hang, a refreshing wine with very good value for money. This estate also produces excellent wines with residual sweetness.
The Riesling Kabinett, for example, has a gripping acidity and a fine spiciness, and the Beerenauslese from the Schloss Schwabsburg vineyard is a dense wine with distinct fig aromas. The Pinot Noirs are rather traditional, always transparent and rounded with fine acidity. The very affordable estate wine deserves a special recommendation. Daniel and Stefan Huff are responsible for this 29-hectare estate in the Schwabsburg district of Nierstein. In addition to Riesling, 40 percent of the vineyards are planted with Burgundy varieties.
