Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker Riesling trocken Erste Lage - Weingut Margarethenhof

A "Herrgottsacker" is a field considered particularly blessed, a place that is meant to yield something. The Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker lives up to its name: powerful, balanced, juicy, and at the same time distinctive. 

On the nose, the wine presents itself as juicy and open, with yellow apple, ripe pear, and a hint of quince, complemented by fine floral notes and a subtle spice.

On the palate, the Riesling wine is powerful, full-bodied, and balanced, with distinctive richness, a round texture, and a precise, vibrant acidity. The finish is long, intense, and remarkably persistent.

The Weingut Margarethenhof parcel lies on a plateau above the Forster Ungeheuer, at the same altitude as its upper zone, but with a clear Deidesheim origin. The soil consists of loamy sand and limestone gravel, a combination that gives the Riesling its characteristic yellow fruit aromatics and inner tension.

After selective hand-harvesting, the wine matured on the lees until February and then on the fine lees until bottling in July. An aging process that gives the wine depth and stature without weighing it down.

A powerful, full-bodied Palatine Riesling with great richness, fine spice, and remarkable persistence on the finish. Organic from the 2024 vintage.
