What is this wine?
Alexander Schregel Riesling Rüdesheim Bischofsberg Trocken 2022 is a dry Riesling from the Rheingau, crafted by young winemaker Alexander Schregel, who has quickly gained attention for his precise, terroir-focused wines. The Bischofsberg vineyard lies above Rüdesheim on steep south-facing slopes of quartzite and slate, producing Rieslings of minerality and tension. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, and aged on the lees in stainless steel to preserve clarity and texture.
Why get this wine?
This bottling perfectly captures modern Rheingau craftsmanship — clean, energetic, and mineral, yet full of depth. Schregel’s wines emphasize terroir over opulence, and this Bischofsberg Trocken offers both crystalline precision and understated power. It’s an excellent introduction to one of the Rheingau’s rising talents, combining top-vineyard pedigree with exceptional value.
What does this wine taste like?
Focused and linear, with notes of lime, green apple, and white peach framed by smoky quartz minerality. The palate is dry and taut, with bright acidity and a long, saline finish.
When should you drink this wine?
Drink now through 2032. Serve well-chilled with shellfish, sushi, or light poultry. Also a brilliant pairing with Asian-inspired dishes or goat cheese.
