Hans Wirsching

Franken Riesling from Iphöf's most prestigious vineyard sites.

Hans Wirsching produces Riesling from Franken, Germany's distinctive continental wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on the Iphöfer vineyard sites—Julius-Echter-Berg and Kammer—where Riesling achieves mineral precision and concentration. The Iphöfer Julius-Echter-Berg Riesling Beerenauslese and Iphöfer Kammer Riesling GG both rate at 94.0 across prestige assessments from Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Iphöfer Julius-Echter-Berg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese, a botrytized expression, rates 93.3. These wines reflect Franken's cool climate and slate-rich soils, which yield Rieslings of structure and aromatic intensity. The winery's focus on late-harvest and dry grand cru bottlings demonstrates depth within a single varietal.
