2023 Rüdesheim Bischofsberg Riesling trocken – Weingut Alexander Schregel – Rheingau

Single-vineyard wine

Origin

The Bischofsberg is one of the defining vineyards around Rüdesheim and stands for a particularly clear, cool Riesling style. Influenced by slate, quartzite, and loess soils, as well as the Rhine, wines with precise structure, salty minerality, and fine herbal spice are produced here. Alexander Schregel interprets this terroir in a puristic and uncompromisingly artisanal way.

Vinification

The grapes are selectively hand-picked and spontaneously fermented. The wine is aged with minimal intervention in stainless steel and partly in wood, with long lees contact. The goal is the most unadulterated expression of the terroir possible – clear, precise, and without over-shaping.

Aroma and Taste

On the nose, a cool, clear aroma of citrus fruits, green apple, and fine herbs emerges. On the palate, the wine is taut and vibrant, supported by precise acidity and salty minerality. The finish is long, crystalline, and characterized by great clarity.

Food Pairings

A versatile companion: perfect with sushi and sashimi, grilled pike-perch with lemon butter, or poultry dishes with herbs. Also a harmonious partner for goat cheese or vegetarian dishes with fennel and citrus.

Vintage Characteristics in the Region

The 2023 vintage in the Rheingau produced balanced, precise Rieslings with clear fruit, moderate structure, and lively acidity. A vintage that emphasizes elegance and balance.

Conclusion

The 2023 Rüdesheim Bischofsberg Riesling trocken shows Alexander Schregel's signature in its purest form: precise, mineral, and puristic. A Riesling with tension, clarity, and great drinkability – uncompromisingly focused on origin.
