Künstler
Having re-established his position at the top of the totem pole in the Rheingau's hierarchy, Gunter Künstler first acquired the Weiss Erd vineyard in neighboring Kostheim and last year expanded his vineyard holdings to Rüdesheim at the opposite end of the valley, where weathered slate rather than chalky clay soils hold sway. Although he now uses Grosses Gewächs to denote some of his finest dry rieslings, a more expensive version of the Hölle site is merely called Gold Capsule--and he continues to make dry kabinetts, in spite of opposition within the VDP, with as much as 12.5% of alcohol because he has a strong following for such ostensibly light wines. Let politics and labeling be what they may, though: I would gladly drink literally anything from this cellar.
