Time and space for wonders – Dreissigacker Wunderwerk Riesling 2013.
Complexity and harmony. Spice and freshness. Maturity and youthfulness. In the Dreissigacker Wunderwerk Riesling, the supposed contrasts of the Bechtheim sun and the coolness of the Westhofen vineyards unite to form a unique, complex whole. A wine, wonderfully matured through our patient aging process and 10 years of storage – distinctive and individual, yet in perfect harmony.
Around a decade ago, we resolutely and consistently focused on minimal yields. The challenging 2013 harvest thus produced tiny quantities of the highest quality, resulting in aromatic, dense wines with noticeable freshness. This already made the Wunderwerk Riesling an exceptional wine back then – the 2013 vintage won the Canadian Award for the best German Riesling. Knowing that his Riesling possessed ideal aging potential, Jochen Dreissigacker deliberately decided to set aside a selected number of bottles at that time. To give the wine the time – 10 years of aging – and space to become what it is today: a masterpiece. Unconventional yet infinitely harmonious.

From the top sites of Bechtheim and Westhofen – the 2013 Wunderwerk Riesling
The grapes for Wunderwerk come from organically farmed top sites in Bechtheim and Westhofen – Geyersberg, Kirchspiel, and Morstein. The Dreissigacker philosophy of bottling all wines as gently as possible is also reflected in the 2013 Wunderwerk Riesling. The harvest was selective and done by hand. The harvested grapes were transported exclusively by gravity. We avoid the use of pumps in all work steps. The berries rested on the skins for about 3 hours and were then gently pressed over several hours. To highlight the pure aromatics that the soils and vines of the top Rheinhessen sites produce, the must was then allowed to settle without any fining or adulteration.
Matured to perfection for 10 years – Dreissigacker Wunderwerk Riesling 2013
Fermented with natural yeasts, our Wunderwerk Riesling was aged 20% in wooden barrels and 80% in stainless steel tanks. While stainless steel underscores the varietal's freshness, the Wunderwerk Riesling greatly benefits from the depth imparted by aging in wooden barrels. The fresh and crisp acidity of the 2013 vintage allowed the wine to develop slowly and evenly. As a result, it now presents itself perfectly matured, as fresh as it is harmonious.
It's a match – perfect food pairings for the Dreissigacker Wunderwerk Riesling 2013
To complement the wonderful Riesling, we recommend pan-fried sea bass fillet with sautéed wild mushrooms on a bed of salsify. For a vegetarian option, we suggest a creamy mushroom risotto to pair with the Riesling.
Riesling, that wondrous wine, pairs well with pan-fried sea bass fillet and sautéed wild mushrooms on salsify vegetables. For a vegetarian option, we recommend a creamy mushroom risotto with the Riesling.
