Dominik Held

Dominik Held makes wine in Dolgesheim, in Rheinhessen. Trained at Geisenheim and having worked with natural wine pioneers in Austria, he launched his own label in 2020, taking over part of the family estate, farmed organically. About five hectares on limestone marls, clay and loess. Portugieser, Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau and Chardonnay complete the range of grapes. In the cellar: spontaneous fermentations, long ageing in old barrels or stainless steel, no filtration or fining, minimal sulfites. The Riesling « Vom Guten Berg, » aged 24 months on the lees, and the zero-sulfur Scheurebe show his style: straight, precise wines. Cuvée Rot, a blend of Dornfelder, Portugieser and Pinot Noir made with no added sulfur, is a fresh, gluggable red. « Bussi Weiss is my tribute to my grandfather Bussi: a simple, frank white wine, like he was. » Energetic wines, marked by the salinity of the Rhenish marls.
