Merchant Reviews The Ratzenberger family moved to the Mittelrhein from East Germany in the fifties, and young Jochen Ratzenberger first began to make wine in 1994. His 8-hectare estate, west and north of the town of Bacharach, comprises three steep vineyards of blue-black Devon slate: Steeger St. Jost, Posten, and Wolfshöhle. This halbtrocken is dry Rhein Riesling of sumptuous fruit flavors (tangerine, peaches, ruby red grapefruit), soft acidity, and sweet petrol, mineral and spicy flavors imparted by the unforgivingly steep slopes of the St. Jost vineyard. -- Greg Moore, Moore Brothers Wine Company, June 14, 2008
