The pure and utterly refined nose delivers an elegant aromatic constellation of white cherries, pears, a beautiful base of slate, a youthful hint of petrol, vanilla bean and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-full, complex and still youthfully reticent, with lovely detail and depth, bright acids and a long, filigreed and dancing finish.

Producer Information

The winery is a member of the VDP and is solely devoted to the production of high-quality Riesling wines. The small family winery cultivates its Riesling grapes in parcels situated in the VDP-classified Erste Lage sites of Graacher Dompropst and Graacher Himmelreich in Graach, as well as Wehlener Sonnenuhr in Wehlen. These vineyards comprise of up to 100-year-old, ungrafted vines that lie on steep slopes of Devonian blue slate. The estate’s Graach parcels enjoy south-to-southwest exposures that are bathed in sunlight throughout the day. This in combination with the cool climate typical of the Mosel region provides the ideal growing conditions for Riesling grapes.
