Region
The Romans planted the first vineyards along the Mosel river and the city of Trier around the second century. Today, this region is known for its steep slopes overlooking the rivers, on which the vineyards are planted. The steep slate and schist soil vineyards on the banks of the Mosel are almost exclusively planted with Riesling. This environment provides classic mineral and lime flavours from Riesling, allied to intense flavour and acidity.
Producer
The family`s involvement in producing wine go back some 200 years, when their ancestors came to the village of Lonquich on the banks of the Mosel River, in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer winegrowing region. Today the company is still in the town, producing a wide range of wines from the best grapes of the region.
Tasting Notes
Off dry in style, this is a beautiful, pale yellow wine with aromas of stone fruits and green apples. The palate is light and soft with flavours of lemons, peaches, apples and nectarines. The hint of sweetness is balanced perfectly by a crisp acidity which results in a clean, fresh and fruity finish.
Food
Ideal by itself or to complement a variety of meat and seafood dishes.
