Where the Kellerberg slopes down to the plain, the Hollerin begins. In its upper part, it is strongly influenced by the neighboring vineyard, with deeper soils and less prominent exposure of the gneiss rock. Our Riesling is situated in the upper third, where the clay is shallower, and the rock is more distinctive. Rieslings from the Hollerin generally open up early, offering mineral notes alongside intense aromas of stone fruit. This juicy, robust Riesling exhibits floral aromas and hints of yellow-fleshed fruits. Refreshing and lively acidity contributes to a long finish.
