Florian Faust is the fifth generation of his family to run this 17.5 hectare estate. The estate is located in Westhofen, with vines in three of the most prestigious vineyards around the village: Kirchspiel, Morstein and Steingrube. This area of the Rheinhessen is characterized by limestone soils, which give the wines richness and a firm structure, but also great fruit purity and a saline minerality. The Rheinhessen is Germany's driest wine-producing region, and also its sunniest, which adds to the concentration and extract found in many of the region's wines. For Florian, most of his work is done in the vineyard, making sure the ripeness and phenolic complexity is there, without the corresponding alcohol and glycerol heft. He is a master at achieving this delicate balancing act, and as a result, his wines are absolutely dazzling.
The Seehof Riesling Feinherb is an off-dry style of Riesling that drinks dry: you will notice the residual sugar in the weight of the wine on the palate, but it will finish fresh and lively. Light gold in the glass with pristine aromas of nectarine, peach, key lime and a touch of apricot. Focused and crisp on the palate with a vibrant minerality to balance the ripe fruit concentration. Filigree texture and elegance with surprising length and depth. Enjoy with chili-rubbed chicken and a cucumber-lime salad.
