Brilliant straw yellow. Dense, powerful bundled fragrance. Ripe yellow fruits and a fine ethereal spice merge with a touch of dry oak. Full-bodied taste with an animating sharpness on the palate. Cushioned acid. Tart dry length, remarkable phenolics. A robust upright guy, with potential for decades.

Food recommendation: Roast duck breast, orange juice, on pumpkin-potato ragout.

Vineyard: The steepest vineyard location in the Rheingau takes its name from the Ehrenfels castle, which was built around 1211. It is the most famous of the three Rheingau mountain locations, all of which are identified by the addition of "mountain" and covers approx. 38.5 hectares. The soil, which is heavily characterized by slate, already clearly points to the rocks emerging in the neighboring Middle Rhine. The Rieslings of the Schlossberg often present themselves rather closed in their youth, but then over many years they can let their fascinating mineral fruit blossom into great complexity.

Terroir: Taunus quartzite rich in skeletons with slate deposits, very stony.
