Weingut Carl Koch Oppenheimer Sacktrager Riesling Auslese 1993

Weingut Carl Koch is located near the town of Oppenheim, right by the region’s most famous vineyard location, the Oppenheimer Sackträger. In the mid-19th century Friedrich Koch founded the world’s first quinine factory on his family’s generations old estate, with his son Carl directing operations. By 1888, global competition in the production of quinine became so intense that the family decided to sell up and concentrate entirely on their other commercial interest, viticulture.

Today, the 12 hectares of vineyards planted on loess, clay and limestone marl, are all fully certified organic and all are located in the immediate vicinity of the river, blessed by perfect aspects and micro-climates for the production of clean, healthy fruit.

The yields are kept low and the grapes are hand-picked, fermentations are spontaneous and there is as little intervention in the winery as possible. The whole range has a signature elegance showing classic varietal and stylistic traits and all offer incredible value.
