On its journey through Germany, the water takes a sudden, sharp turn west for just sixteen miles before heading north again to the sea. This little kink creates sun-drenched, south-facing hillsides that get some of the best weather in the region. Founded way back in 1870 by a local butcher who wanted to make his own wine for his hotel guests, the estate has stayed wholly in the family for five generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eToday, they work entirely without artificial chemicals, having transitioned the vineyards completely to \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"104\"\u003eorganic\u003c\/b\u003e farming. Working these steep, stony banks by hand is back-breaking work, but it keeps the soil healthy and the fruit clean.

It was the absolute favourite bottle for guests at the family hotel over a century ago, and it remains the ultimate benchmark for a dry, honest, and completely unpretentious \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"286\"\u003eGerman white wine\u003c\/b\u003e.
