Riesling is a wine for everyone. It's imminently drinkable and makes your mouth water non-stop. The winemaker, Johannes Gunderloch, named this cuvée after his late, Harley-riding father, Fritz. It's a special, off-dry Riesling that grows in a very small part of the Rheinhessen called Roter Hang which translates to red hill due to the red slate soils of the slope.

The Rheinhessen is one of Germany's largest (and oft-overlooked) wine regions.

The region has been cultivating grapes for wine production at least since ancient Roman occupation. It is also the home to the oldest surviving records of a German vineyard. Named Glöck, the vineyard was included in a deed for a church and vineyards gifted by Carloman – a duke of the Franks of the Carolingian family and the uncle of the first Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne – to the diocese of Würzburg in 742.

Within a century, dozens of villages were cultivating grapes throughout Rheinhessen. An early documentation of Riesling as a distinct grape variety, identified as Rüssling, was also found in records from the city Worms dating back to 1402.

The size of the region, and its location on the Rhine, has given it a significant role in Germany's wine industry history. The area's largest city, Mainz, has been an unofficial center for wine trade, being home to several national wine organizations including the German Wine Institute and the Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates (Verband Deutscher Prädikats-und Qualitätsweingüter e.V.)
