Where it comes from
This elegant Riesling originates from the steep vineyards of the Mosel, one of Germany's most prestigious wine regions. The grapes come from the renowned Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, located near the village of Wehlen. The unique soil and climate conditions of this site allow the bunches to reach optimal ripeness. The result is a territorial expression distinguished by a clear aromatic clarity, skilfully combining the natural sweetness of the fruit with a vibrant acidic drive.
How it is produced
The winemaking follows the Auslese style, based on the late harvest of grapes that have reached a high degree of ripeness. The harvest takes place in autumn, with careful selection of the bunches to ensure the maximum varietal expression. To fully enhance its organoleptic qualities, it is advisable to serve the wine at a temperature between 10 and 12°C. At the table, it is an ideal choice to accompany cheeses and desserts, showing excellent taste affinity with fruit tarts.
