- TASTING NOTE: "A juicy and joyful off-dry riesling with more substance and weight than most entry level wines. Plenty of red apple fruits. Refreshing and zesty finish that pulls you back for more." Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
- ABOUT THE WINE: Regardless of the bottling, all of the August Kesseler wines come from Premier Cru (Erste Lage )or Grand Cru (Grosse Lage) sites in the Rheingau. 'Five o'clock' comes from top vineyards in Rüdesheim, Geisenheim, and Erbach. The sites are characterized by slate, taunus quartzite, loess and loam. Each parcel is vinified separately and assembled shortly before bottling. The wines are made and aged in the cellar built in 1792 straight into the hillside in Assmannshäusen. This off dry Riesling has 16.5g/L residual sugar.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: When August Kesseler took over his parents’ establishment, which was founded in 1924, he was only 19 years old. Traditionally, mostly bulk wine was produced and the vineyard area was just over six acres. Today, under August’s guidance, the estate has become one of the flagship producers of the Rheingau area and has also acquired an impressive international reputation. The estate spans 80 acres of vineyards located in some of the best Rheingau sites, such as Assmannshäuser, Höllenberg, Rüdesheim Berg, Schlossberg, Lorchhäuser, Seligmacher, Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen, and many more. They produce 60% Riesling and 40% Pinot Noir.
