2004 Kalinda Hattenheimer Riesling Dry

SKU #1019892

Yup, that’s right, Kalinda Riesling from Germany. I'm sure most of you are familiar with our Kalinda label by this time, but this is a first, and you should be a part of it. The village of Hattenheim is located in the heart of the Rheingau with notable vineyard sites such as The Steinberg, Mannberg, Hassel and The Pfaffenberg. Keeping with the Kalinda tradition, we can’t tell you exactly where this little beauty hails from, but it is something special. Hattenheim has a rich, deep history of wine production dating back to the mid 1100's and is known for wines that are perfumed, mineral driven, and that have a strong personality. This is a must have. I’m keeping at least three bottles in the fridge at all times for any occasion I see fit. Maybe I’m having people over or maybe it’s Tuesday; I’ll find a reason to crack one open. (Eric Story, K&L)

Varietal:

Riesling

- A great noble variety made famous by the long-lived wines of Germany. Riesling is grown in many countries and can produce wines of high acidity and extraction, making a wine that develops in the bottle much like a great red would. Well known for its great dessert wines, this grape actually produces wines of all sweetness levels. Riesling has a particular ability to exhibit the mineral character of the producing soil, as well as exotic florals, honey, and spiciness. Here is a list of our bestselling Riesling.
Country:

Germany

- Thanks to a recent string of excellent vintages and to the reemergence of Germany onto the international wine writing scene, this is a country that's hot, hot, hot! Germany is divided into 13 wine Region and produces a very wide variety of wine styles, from incredibly high-acid, dry wines to some of the sweetest, most unctuous concoctions on the planet and even a few surprisingly hearty reds. Most of the highest-quality wines are grown on steep banks along the rivers in these Region. Small vineyards are still mostly hand tended and picked, due to the difficult nature of mechanization on these slopes. White wine production accounts for nearly 80% of the total with Riesling being the most important varietal, though Muller-Thurgau is still more widely planted.
