Katharina Wechsler, Riesling and Silvaner from Westhofen limestone, Rheinhessen
Katharina Wechsler is a wine producer in Westhofen, Rheinhessen, Germany. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Katharina Wechsler wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.
Estate
Katharina Wechsler farms on limestone soils around Westhofen in Rheinhessen, a region that has shed its bulk-wine past through precisely this kind of focused, site-driven work. Her parcels include Kirchspiel and Morstein, grand cru-caliber sites that are still among the least expensive serious terroir in Germany.
Wines
The Rieslings carry a mineral backbone and savory depth drawn directly from the limestone. The Silvaner, a grape Rheinhessen has a strong historical claim to, is textured and precise in her hands. Both varieties are fermented with indigenous yeasts and see minimal intervention. Quiet intensity rather than volume.
