| 2007 Bechtheimer Riesling Dreissigacker Rheinhessen, once famous only as the home of Liebfraumilch, is now a powerhouse of young, ambitious producers of terroir-driven dry wines. Jochen Dreissigacker's winery is located in Bechtheim, which is 7 km away from Dalsheim. He has loess-loam soils in Bechtheim and since last year also a good parcel in the Morstein. Dreissigacker means '30 acres'. In fact, the holdings have grown to 18 hectares and in the Gault Millau WeinGuide Deutschland 2009 Jochen has been dubbed Aufsteiger, or rising star, of the year. Pure and mineral driven and with greater weight and complexity than the Estate Riesling.
