A classic Riesling from the Rheingau region of Germany, the Ehrahard Rocken Trocken is a serious wine in a playful package. Concentrating on sustainable practices in the vineyards and hand selecting prime Riesling, this dry Riesling is a very nice expression of high quality German white wines. Medium bodied with excellent balance and firm acidity, this wine pairs well with Asian fusion or sushi.

Founded over 150 years ago, the Ehrhard Estate has been focused on crafting world class Riesling on their four Rheingau vineyard sites. Current winemaker Carl Ehrhard believes that "one can only improve the wine quality in the vineyard itself," and this philosophy translates into their focus on preserving the natural elements of their grapes, methods, and soil. The Estate places particular value on healthy ripe fruit, and all of their wines come from grapes that have been hand selected.

While most winemakers recognize Mosel and the Pfalz for the top German wines, the smaller region of the Rheingau is perhaps the strongest white wine producing region in all of Germany. In fact, the Riesling from the Rheingau put German wine production on the map, as their serene and rolling vineyards run along with south facing bank of the Rhine river and protected by the forests of the Taunus Mountains which block the cold northern wines. Their wines are distinctive from the Mosel, generally richer, rounder and earthier.
