Situated at an elevation of 150 meters on a plateau between two churches, it overlooks H.O.’s hometown of Hohen-Sülzen. Its ancient centerpiece is home to his oldest vineyards, planted in the 1960s. Today the wines come from the best parcels of the entire Kirchenstück — average vine age: 35 years — for wines of notable fruit and depth. The soft, calcareous stone of the upper soil provides an excellent nutritional supply despite an extremely calcareous substrate. Characterized by its expressive fruit, the Kirchenstück is accessible starting in youth, yet promises immense development potential over time.

The green herbal spice is then underscored with yellow and red fruit aromas. Notes of fully ripe yellow apple and quince as well as nectarine are underpinned by accents of wet chalk. Concentrated fruit with a mouthwatering, fine-grained phenolic comes alive to a youthful, electric nerve of acidity. Complex and deep, the wine moves with enviable confidence and focus across the palate and toward its steadfast and salty mineral finish. The Kirchenstück is notably openspirited in its youth, yet don’t sleep on its enormous maturation ceiling and well-deserved claim as an accompaniment to fine cuisine: North African or Levant cooking are ideal pairings, as are fish and seafood classics from the French tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType: \u003c\/strong\u003eWine, White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straw Yellow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rheinhessen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Riesling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation: \u003c\/strong\u003eVDP Grosse Lage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlc%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-01-03T16:45:03-05:00","created_at":"2024-01-03T14:18:12-05:00","vendor":"Battenfeld Spanier","type":"Wine, White, Riesling, Battenfeld Spanier, Rheinhessen, Germany","tags":["Country_Germany","Price_$75-$100","Type_White","Type_Wine","Type_Wunderwein"],"price":7900,"price_min":7900,"price_max":7900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47812414308644,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"73PBXB1TTYSPT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Battenfeld Spanier Kirchenstück Riesling, 750ml","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":7900,"weight":1451,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/image_8b9d1653-10ed-43bb-adb1-d494fbe52b42.jpg?v=1704309548"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/image_8b9d1653-10ed-43bb-adb1-d494fbe52b42.jpg?v=1704309548","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":38839850893604,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.625,"height":800,"width":500,"src":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/image_8b9d1653-10ed-43bb-adb1-d494fbe52b42.jpg?v=1704309548"},"aspect_ratio":0.625,"height":800,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/image_8b9d1653-10ed-43bb-adb1-d494fbe52b42.jpg?v=1704309548","width":500}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 7\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 9\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 10\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 11\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kirchenstück is mentioned by name in official documents predating the Thirty Years War.
