Description
The Prinz Riesling Schönhell GG 2021. The grapes for this wine were harvested in the original Schönhell vineyards. Deep, slightly sandy, but also stony clay-loess soils predominate here. The vineyard itself faces due south and is sloping, which means that the sunlight is very good there. The name Schönhell, like all “Hellen” or “Höllen”, is derived from the waste heap, and not, as one might think, from the “Hölle”. A slope or hill is called a heap, i.e. a beautiful slope.
The grapes for this wine come from thinned vines planted in 1970. The (small) grapes were golden yellow and ripe, some even overripe with a tiny bit of raisin berries. After bottling in April, the wine matured in the bottle until its first sale in September of the following year.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

The Grosses Gewächs 2021 Rheingau Riesling trocken Hallgartener Schönhell VDP. Grosse Lage opens with a pure, lean and fresh yet intense and stony/saline nose. Lush and round on the palate, this is a dense, very elegant and perfectly ripe as well as saline Riesling with fine tannins and a structured finish. Still young but very promising. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork stopper. Tasted in December 2022.

Prinz Riesling Rheingau Schönhell GG 2021
Thursday, Sep 22, 2022
Color : White
Country : Germany
Region : Rheingau
Vintage : 2021
Such a finely nuanced and subtle dry riesling, with such underplayed power that you could easily miss if you only took a quick sip. However, anyone who takes the trouble will find a wealth of mineral power behind the chamomile, lemon-balm and dried -lower aromas that make this remarkable dry riesling so appealing. From organically grown grapes.

Wijnhuis
Weingut Prinz is een familiebedrijf gevestigd in Hallgarten, in het hart van de Rheingau-regio in Duitsland. Onder leiding van Fred Prinz, samen met zijn vrouw Sabine en zoon Florian, streeft het wijnhuis naar het produceren van wijnen die de mineraliteit, elegantie en finesse van hun terroir weerspiegelen. Het domein beslaat ongeveer 11 hectare aan wijngaarden, voornamelijk beplant met Riesling en Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). Weingut Prinz past biodynamische landbouwmethoden toe, met respect voor de natuur en het milieu. Deze aanpak benadrukt het belang van handwerk en minimale interventie om de zuiverheid en expressie van het terroir te behouden.
Het assortiment van Weingut Prinz omvat een reeks wijnen, variërend van Gutsweine tot Ortsweine en Erste Lage-wijnen. De Rieslings zijn bekend om hun levendige zuurgraad en uitgesproken mineraliteit, terwijl de Spätburgunders elegantie en diepte tonen. Het wijnhuis produceert ook een Spätburgunder Rosé en experimenteert met andere variëteiten zoals Sauvignon Blanc en Traminer. Fred Prinz benadrukt dat goede wijn voortkomt uit filosofie, niet uit technologie. Het doel is om wijnen te creëren die hun herkomst perfect weerspiegelen en een groot rijpingspotentieel hebben.
