Rauenthaler Baiken Riesling Auslese - 2001 - Freiherr Langwerth von Simmern
Ref: A091301
A wonderful full-bodied, sweet Rheingau Auslese with flavours of acacia and honey. Delicious now but will happily keep for another 5 to 10 years.

Wines from the top site of Baiken in Rauenthal have long been competitors of Marcobrunn in Erbach, indeed many rank the site higher and go so far as to say they are the best white wines in the world. Connoissuers admire Baiken wines for their fruit, spice,susbtance and piquant, yet harmonious acidity. Their great finesse derives from the phyllitic-slaty soil.

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.
