Rheinhessen, also known as ‘the land of thousand hills’ is the largest wine region in Germany. It is situated at the southern part of Rheingau, northern part of Pfalz and eastern part of Nahe. Rheinhessen region is characterized by stony soils and warm climate that provide warmth and cultivation to different kinds of grape vines in the region.
Rheinhessen is divided into three regions; Bereich Nierstein, Bereich Bingen and Bereich Wonnegau. Bereich Nierstein is popular for its rich mineral deposits that make it a viable region for grape varietals to grow. Bereich Bingen accounts for majority of red wines produced in Rheinhessen. Bereich Wonnegau is home to Scheurebe grape that makes up about three percent of Rheinhessen’s wine produce.
A Müller-Thurgau grape leads the wine production in Rheinhessen followed by Riesling. Silvaner grape is considered to be the region’s oldest grape varietal but is not commonly produced now as it was before. Dornfelder dominates the red grape production in the region although Pinot Noir from Spätburgunder and Blanc de Noir has grown popular over the years.

This has a pretty fragrance of violets, green peppercorns, salted olives, blackcurrants and black raspberries. Creamy, salted dark chocolate and praline to follow. Medium-to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Delicious and superbly balanced. 50% cabernet franc, 47% cabernet sauvignon and 3% petit verdot.

The 2019 Red Blend Estate comes all from the To Kalon Vineyard and is close to an even split of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a clear step up over the base Red Blend and offers terrific, full-bodied aromas and flavors of darker fruits, dark chocolate, violets, and a kiss of spring flowers. With silky tannins, terrific balance, and outstanding length, it's going to evolve for 15 years or so.
