Heyl zu Herrnsheim works in the most “hands-off” and minimalistic way possible, trying to keep the technological influence on the wine as low as possible. All of the wines are gently press and ferment slowly with the spontaneous yeasts. After the fermentation they are usually store in the yeast till about February-march and then they are filtered once and bottled afterwards. So the whole process of winemaking is very “old School” in terms of how wine is produced around the world.

Riesling Pettenthal Große Lage

A wine intensively influenced by the spiciness of slate. Wild scent of herbs and orange zest, a tingly play between sweetness and acidity on the palate with a juicy finish. Sea bream with sansho pepper and green asparagus, roast suckling pig, Sichuan pepper and mandarin, tomato bruschetta, classical Indian and Chinese dishes with mild to moderate spiciness.

Hipping Riesling Große Lage
. . . . . . . . . . . . >
The Rhine’s influence and the subterranean water veins that crisscross beneath the region make the red slate a unique microcosm creating this superlative terroir. The Hipping vineyard is somewhat equivalent to a 1er cru to the Grand Cru of Brudersberg with a more central hillside exposition but still with the influence of the Roter Hang.
