Seehof, Rheinhessen (Germany) Riesling 2021

Jan 17, 2023

By Wayne Belding

 This is pure and delicious Riesling at a very affordable price for its fine quality.  Seehof is located in the village of Westhofen in the southern Rheinhessen.  Long overlooked, this part of the Rheinhessen has achieved great notoriety in recent years.  The Morstein is a top site here, noted for its limestone soils.  Seehof has crafted an excellent Riesling in a classic Kabinett style from this exceptional vineyard.  At the nose, it offers bright scents of lemon, peach, apple and pineapple bolstered by hints of flowers, fresh ginger and spice.  The multilayered flavors offer juicy citrus, stone and tropical fruits.  This virtual basket of ripe fruits is enhanced by the floral, ginger, honey and spice elements.  Its pure and zesty, off-dry style makes this a wine to pair with a wide range of recipes or simply enjoy on its own.
