J.B. Becker Martinsthaler Rödchen Riesling Spätlese Trocken "Stellar 1" 2017
A single-selection Rödchen bottling from the Rheingau's most stubborn traditionalist.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Riesling from Rödchen in Martinsthal, a VDP.Grosse Lage site where clay-slate and sandy loam sit over Taunus quartzite, letting vines drive roots deep for abundant nutrition.
Taste Profile: A dry-styled Spätlese built on Rödchen's quartzite backbone, carrying the site's characteristic stony minerality and salinity under riper Spätlese fruit, framed by Becker's typically racy acidity.
Winemaking Process: Fermentation takes place largely in pressure tanks, after which the young wine is racked into traditional Rheingau Stückfässer, where it rests on its fine lees until bottling — often held back, in Becker's traditionalist style, well beyond the norm for the region.
Winemaker: The winery is run by third-generation grower and winemaker Hans-Joseph "Hajo" Becker, a traditionalist among Rheingau producers farming 13 hectares — mostly Riesling, with a growing share of Pinot Noir — entirely within the Walkenberg VDP.Grosse Lage. Even as the Rheingau converted en masse to trocken Riesling, Becker held to older practices: bottling wines later than most of his peers, preserving old vines over clones, and farming organically without advertising it. Annual production runs to about 45,000 bottles, and the wines remain highly sought after by sommeliers and critics worldwide.

The wines have an in-your-face, love-it-or-hate-it vibe. Becker is a strong advocate of wild-yeast fermentations and winemaking traditions. Despite not joining the VDP, his wines have the reputation and recognition worthy of any Grand Cru winery
