The red sandstone soils of the Hipping vineyard are old, 280 million years old, and are located smack dab in the middle of the "Roter Hang" (red slope) in the village of Nierstein. This site is known around the world as one of the best Riesling producing vineyards in Germany. It is ankle breaking steep and loaded with red sandstone which helps retain the morning sun's warmth and is protected by the Rhine River from any extreme climatic spikes which allows for a nice temperate and extended growing season. Lots of creamy citrus and spice on the nose with good density. A rich mouth feel that is layered and structured with rich juicy fruits, a slight oily texture and nice lift from the minerality and inherent acidity.
