Hiestand
Hiestand is a Rheinhessen winery producing Rieslings and Gewürztraminers from the Guntersblum vineyard. The Asia de Cuba Cosmopolitan Riesling and Riesling Guntersblum represent the estate's work with the region's signature variety, while the Gewürztraminer Guntersblum Eiserne Hand demonstrates range across aromatic white grapes. Wine Advocate and Falstaff have rated the winery's releases. The Rheinhessen region, Germany's largest wine area, is defined by its warm microclimate and slate-rich soils—conditions that support both the mineral precision Riesling demands and the spice and stone-fruit character Gewürztraminer expresses. Hiestand's focus on single-vineyard bottlings from Guntersblum reflects the specificity of terroir-driven winemaking in the region.
