In April, me and some other wine freaks, lovers and professionals where invited from the German wine institute (DWI) from around the world to enjoy the Mosel and Rheingau Valley and their wines and their producers.
Introduction of one of the brothers of vineyard Bathazar-Rhess near the Schlossberg, in the back the Rhein river in Germany. One can clearly see how even today the new generation still has the passion and tradition in their blood.
In 1870 the family Ress opened up a small hotel in Hattenheim and at that time it set the milestone for a long gastronomic and wine tradition. Today the Winery is in the 5. Generation leaded by Stefan Ress, since 2010, and holds up the tradition. This wine to the right was one of the highlights of many delicous juice, we got presented. The surprising change in the German market is the making of more dry wines and different grape varieties as Sylvaner or Grauburgunder. However the Riesling still dominates the main wine production. A lovely day
