Preussen Gloria Riesling trocken - Schloss Reinhartshausen

Brilliant pale gold sparkles in the glass and emphasizes the elegant presentation of Preussen Gloria Riesling dry - Schloss Reinhartshausen. On the nose, a multifaceted aromatic profile unfolds, featuring juicy green and yellow apples, ripe apricot, and sun-kissed peach. A fine, cool minerality recalls wet stone after a summer rain and lends the bouquet a refined, almost salty tension.

On the palate, the wine is clear and precise. The ripe fruit of apple, apricot, and peach meets invigorating acidity with a taut line. The structure is linear, finely etched, and exceptionally elegant. Lively acidity carries the fruit far into the finish, while mineral notes provide cool freshness and depth. The wine appears slender yet concentrated, with remarkable balance between fruit, acidity, and delicate spice.

As a single-variety Riesling from the Rheingau, this white wine displays a clear signature typical of its origin.

Production of Preussen Gloria Riesling dry – Schloss Reinhartshausen

The grapes for Preussen Gloria Riesling dry - Schloss Reinhartshausen come from selected sites in the Rheingau, one of Germany’s most renowned Riesling regions. The climate is characterised by moderate warmth, with cooling influences from the Rhine, which balances temperatures and extends the ripening phase of the grapes. Sunny days and cool nights encourage pronounced aromas while maintaining a taut acidity structure.

The soils of the Rheingau offer fascinating diversity. Slate, quartzite, and gravelly as well as partly loess-rich layers predominate, lending the Riesling a distinctive mineral character. The deep-rooted vines draw a wide range of nutrients from these soils, which is reflected in the wine’s complexity. The combination of sparse, stony soils and the influence of the Rhine shapes the typical elegance and finesse of this wine style.

The grapes are harvested selectively, with a focus on fully ripe, aromatically dense fruit. The harvested grapes are handled carefully in the press house to protect the delicate berries and avoid unnecessary bitter compounds. Gentle pressing yields a clear, fine must that carries the pure fruit of the Riesling.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The moderate fermentation temperature preserves the fresh fruit aromas of apple, apricot, and peach, along with delicate citrus freshness. Maturation in stainless steel highlights the clear, unadulterated varietal character and places freshness, tension, and precision at the forefront. The wine remains on its fine lees for a certain period, giving it additional creaminess, depth, and a subtle lusciousness without losing its lightness.

The style of Schloss Reinhartshausen winery focuses on authenticity and fidelity to origin. Artisanal precision in the vineyard and cellar, respectful treatment of the grapes, and a deliberate avoidance of excessive intervention shape a Riesling that expresses the Rheingau in its purest form. The Preussen Gloria style combines classic elegance with modern clarity and invites repeated discovery.
