What to taste in Rheingau?

Here is some wine suggestion for your wine tastings and tours in Rheingau:
Classic dry Riesling with pronounced acidity and aromas of citrus fruits and smoke-tinged minerality, typically more "masculine" than its equivalent from the Mosel. Spätburgunder is an elegant, velvety red wine with a distinctive bouquet reminiscent of bitter almonds or blackberries.
Ranging from ruby to garnet red, Rheingauer (Spätburgunder) sparkling wines are slightly tannic, mild in acidity, and have a long finish with aromas reminiscent of blackberry and cherry. A really good icewine/Eiswein is a combination of the most clarified form of grape juice and a punch in the nose, so vibrant is the acidity!

Perfect wine, great host and super interesting! The wine tasting was a perfect experience! We were welcomed by the owner of Weingut Kaufmann and he showed us around the place incl. providing super interesting facts about the wine preparation. Afterwards, we spent time tasting up to 8 or 9 different wines. It was so great and tasteful that we directly bought 4 bottles to bring home. Thank you very much - we highly recommend the Weingut Kaufmann for a tasting!

Great tasting led by owners Despite the description on the Winetourism page has promised the things which are not actually offered (like light snack and production facilities and cellar tour) it was a great experience. The two stellars of it were the great wines and the fact that those were presented by the owners. We have tasted 9 wines including great Tale Riesling and magnificient Hassel GG Pinot Noir '20. Special thanks to the hosts for tolerating us being late as our visit actually ended well after the official working hours.
