Felix Prinz zu Salm-Salm is the 32nd generation<br />

of his family to run Weingut<br />

Prinz Salm – it is the oldest winery in<br />

Germany which has remained in continuous<br />

ownership of the same family. Those who expect<br />

that this translates into hidebound tradtitions<br />

are entirely mistaken. The estate with its<br />

18 hectares of best sites between Wallhausen,<br />

Dalberg and Bingen presents a wonderfully<br />

alert range of excellent Rieslings – from complex<br />

and profound Grosse Gewächs, via a<br />

fruity and carefree Kabinett all the way to the<br />

finely-chiseled and harmonious sweet wines.<br />

Fragrant, pale wine with a delicate nose of black and redcurrants<br />

and white flowers. On the palate, very harmonious balance<br />

between sweetness and acidity, incredibly juicy and appetising,<br />

long, fresh finish, great with food or on its own!<br />

Riesling Auslese<br />
