Made from the Hendelberg vineyard in Hallgarten, Rheingau, you get a real sense of the terroir in this wine; a kind of body and richness and flavour that is more Rheingau than limey, delicate Mosel. Moving into a kind of richer Burgundy white kind of area in terms of weight and away from the limey Riesling flavours. Serious food wine and excellent for the price.

Fred Prinz, formerly head winemaker at Kloster Erberbach, is now producing wines under his own label from top vineyards, some shared with renowned winemaker Peter Jacob-Kuhn. Though not widely known outside Germany, his wines offer outstanding quality at excellent value. His family-run estate is organic and biodynamic, and four dry wines are available at special pre-arrival prices ranging from 16.50 to 55. Even the entry-level white (17.50) is highly impressive.
