2006 Rhine Riesling Golden Line

This is our premium flagship Rhine Riesling wine and yet a significant step-up in quality since 2004 for Villa Sandahl. The wine proportions reminds of classical dry white Alsace, with 7 gram acidity per litre and 7 gram sugar per litre.

It is made to satisfy consumers demanding an significant level of quality and experience, but still very approachable for newcomers that enjoy something extra.

The smell is citrus and mineral, with a beginning of petrol, and the taste is rich and fat. We proudly regard this wine an Hungarian cousin to the famous Alsatian producer Zind-Humbrecht.

2006 Rhine Riesling Silver Line

The silver line quality level is a continuation of the 2004 quality level. It is a perfect Riesling wine for consumers demanding a very good wine to a very reasonable price.

The acidity is 6 gram per litre and the sugar is 8 gram per litre, making this a soft but still dry Riesling wine.

The characteristics are like our premium golden line, but with a more robust and straight forward setup.
