straw yellow. Rich, yellow fruity, interlocking scent of apricots, green peaches, citrus and fine ginger spice. Juicy and smooth in taste with a lean salty center. The acid is integrated by the fruit, is lively but painless. Dry and velvety aftertaste. The tension of the wine builds powerfully from its center and tastes good for a long time. Very open despite his youth, but air is good for him. Served with ginger chicken with silken tofu and jasmine rice. Location & Terroir Vineyard: The Winkeler Jesuitengarten is 26 hectares in the immediate vicinity of the Rhine between Winkel and Geisenheim. The vineyards are south-southwest oriented and slightly inclined. To the north is part of a historic "Clos", a large vineyard wall that keeps out cold air flowing on the ground. This makes the Jesuitengarten one of the warmest vineyards in the Rheingau. A microclimate is created that favors early budding, flowering and ripening. The name Jeusitengarten dates back to 1606, when the archbishop of Mainz handed over the St. Bartholomae chapel (which is still hidden on the northern edge today) with the associated vineyards to the Jeusitenkolleg in Mainz, which owned the vineyards until 1773. In the lower area of the Jesuit Garden one finds alluvial soils of the former banks of the Rhine, which consist of sandy loam with gravel and sand deposits. At the north end, a bench in front of our refuge invites you to linger with a view over the Rhine. Terroir: Alluvial soil with sand and gravel deposits, in the lower area also calcareous loess
