The Story Behind the Wine
The Rothenberg vineyard, located in Rheinhessen, is one of the most prestigious Riesling sites in Germany, known for its red slate soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wines. The 2015 vintage, produced by Staatliche Weinbaudomäne Oppenheim, is a perfect representation of this exceptional terroir. The winery, owned by the state of Rheinland-Pfalz, has a long history of producing top-tier Rieslings, often with small production numbers. This particular wine, classified as Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru), comes from old vines that yield wines of remarkable complexity and aging potential​.

Pairing Suggestions

• Seafood: Perfect with grilled sea bass or seared scallops, which complement the wine’s acidity and minerality.
• Poultry: Pairs wonderfully with roast chicken or duck, balancing the richness of the meat.
• Spicy Dishes: The vibrant acidity makes it a great match for spicy Asian cuisine, especially Thai curries​.
