The history of the Ress family is long and dates back to the 19th century. Originally, the Resses were enterprising butchers in Hattenheim. In 1870, Balthasar Ress founded a winery and a wine trade business, as well as an inn. The brand \"Von Unserem\" dates from this period, and its wines remain a crucial pillar for the Ress family today. In 1894, Balthasar Ress purchased the later legendary Kronenschlösschen from an insolvency estate. All Ress descendants evidently possessed a good business acumen. They gradually acquired what is now the \"Altes Gutshaus,\" more and more vineyard acreage in good locations such as \"Hattenheimer Engelmannsberg,\" \"Berg Rottland,\" the monopoly site \"Schloss Reichartshausen,\" \"Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen,\" as well as the Engel wine house in Drosselgasse and the Hasensprung export winery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eBalthasar Ress – with innovative ideas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eSince 1989, Balthasar Ress has been a member of the VDP, the elite of German viticulture – easily recognizable by the eagle on the wine bottle. Today, the winery covers 55 hectares and has been managed by Christian Ress, the fifth generation, since 2010. He, too, possesses a keen sense for good business and creates a stir not only with consistent quality management but also with innovative ideas, such as establishing the northernmost vineyard on Sylt and opening the wineBANK in Hattenheim. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"balthasar-ress-hattenheim-nussbrunnen-gg-2016","title":"Hattenheim Nussbrunnen GG – 2016","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBalthasar Ress – Hattenheim Nussbrunnen Riesling GG \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Balthasar Ress Hattenheim Nussbrunnen Riesling GG 2016 is a VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS from the Rheingau.

To the north, it borders the Schützenhaus site and to the east, the Hassel. Although the site is rather flat, it is crisscrossed by vineyard hedges and old dry stone walls. The name of the site, Engelmannsberg, goes back to the knight \"Engilmann\" of Hattenheim, who bequeathed his vineyards to Kloster Eberbach in 1321. The soil consists mainly of loess loam, Tertiary marl soils, and clay lenses. Due to its deep structure, the soil is able to ensure a high potential of water, minerals, and nutrients even in dry years. The soil optimally supplies the roots, which can spread easily. The wines from the Engelmannsberg are particularly characterized by their interplay of power, elegance, and fine herbal spice, as well as exceptional longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBalthasar Ress Riesling 2012 – a wine and its characteristics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region Rheingau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety Riesling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVDP.
