The Nierstein Hipping is one of the finest vineyard sites in Rheinhessen. Nearly 0.6 hectares (including the old Franz-Karl-Schmitt parcel) are owned and farmed by the Keller family, with the east-facing slope descending steeply towards the Rhine of over 70%.
The iconic red clay slate soil produces wines with delicate fruitiness, aristocratic smoothness, and particularly long aging potential.
Already at the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, a wine from this vineyard site, from the above mentioned FK Schmitt estate, was served.
This Auslese is pure nectar. Aromas of ripe apricot, honeyed peach, and hints of citrus blossom on the nose, followed by subtle mineral nuances that reflect the vineyard's red clay slate soil. On the palate, the wine unfolds with layers of tropical fruit flavours, balanced by a refreshing acidity and creamy texture. The finish is long and lingering, leaving notes of candied fruits and a touch of spice.
