2007 Erbacher, Honigberg,
Riesling, Winzer Von Erbach 12/1.0 L
The vineyard is located on the Southwest of the area, from
slope to flat location, particularly deep loose-clay and meadow
soils. This area's name is derived from the good honey-producing
plants which the hill offered before being cultivated. These
vineyards are situated next to the famous "Steinberg"
at the same altitude level.
Round and refreshing wine with light touches of
lemon and lime on the nose. Slightly sweet mouthfeel, with juicy
and fruity flavors.

"From
vineyards situated next to the Rheingau's famous Steinberg
vineyard, this crisp, refreshing Riesling is juicy and complex,
with just the right amount of sweetness on the finish. Packaged
in a full liter bottle, it's also an excellent value."

2004 Kiedricher Sandgrub, Halbtrocken, Riesling, Winzer Von
Erbach 12/750ml
This vineyard has a south-southwesterly direction. The area
cultivated by the Winzer von Erbach is a pure flat site. Even
before the year 1,500 this area was known as a good vineyard
with sandy soil.
The wine is spritzy and refreshing with honey and apple aromas. Very nice wine.
