Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen Riesling Kabinett - 2002 - Freiherr Langwerth von Simmern
Ref: A090402
Classic fuller-bodied Rheingau Kabinett with fine flowery fruits on the nose and typical Riesling petrolly overtones. The crisp acidity is laced with fruit flavours of honeydew melon and classic Rheingau body. Drinking well now it will keep happily for another 5 years.

The deep, sandy to loamy soils of this southfacing hillside of Wisselbrunnen produce racy to full-bodied wines that are rich in aroma. Von Simmern owns around 40% of this well-known Rheingau vineyard, a source of distinctive Riesling wines.

The history of the Freiherrn (Barons) Langwerth von Simmern dates back to the year 1464, when Johann Langwerth von Simmern was given about 13 hectares of "Hattenheimer Mannberg" as a reward for his services as chancellor to Duke Ludwig von Pfalz-Zweibrücken. In 1472, after the acquisiton of Castle Hattenheim, the family finally made the Rheingau their home. After buying Stockheimer Hof in 1711, the family moved to Eltville, the cultural centre of the Rheingau. At Stockheimer Hof, the mother of Baron vom Stein was born in 1721. The acquisiton of Lichtenstern Hof in 1753 laid the foundations for the current estate. The two buildings lend the modern Langwerther Hof its character and enclose the Estate Park inside.
