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 Trocken ("trocken" means "dry" in German) pours a light gold with green highlights. On the nose, aromas of salted grapefruit, golden delicious apple and candied lemon effortlessly plume from the glass. The palate is laser-focused with a saline minerality and a mix of stone fruit and citrus flavors: apricot, white peach, yellow plum, meyer lemon and ruby red grapefruit. There is excellent concentration of flavor which is impeccably balanced by a racy, crystaline acidity, giving the impression of feather-weight body and gossamer mouthfeel. The wine is tightly-wound and once it springs into your mouth the energy released is invigorating. The finish is long and vivacious, with a complex interplay of fruit and mineral flavors which elegantly float away. A truly exceptional Rheinhessen Riesling that showcases the power and richness of the region with its elegance and class, this wine is an absolute steal! Enjoy with a huge range of dishes from lime and jalapeno shrimp tacos to spicy crab linguine to apple stuffed pork loin.
