In addition to Riesling, a wealth of other grape varieties grew here on the Moselle slopes. This wine revives this old tradition of mixed planting.<br \/>\nIn addition to Riesling, the following grape varieties are found in the plot: Gelber Kleinberger, Gelber Orleans, Gr\u00fcner Adelfr\u00e4nkisch, Gr\u00fcnfr\u00e4nkisch, Wei\u00dfer Heunisch, and Wei\u00dfer Traminer. All grapes are harvested at the same time, mashed in the vineyard, pressed together, and spontaneously fermented in traditional oak barrels. <\/p>\n<p>RICHTER DRY RIESLING<br \/>\nClassical and typical dry Riesling of the Mosel valley. Precise fruit, fresh and crisp fruit acid. Sourced from the young wines of our Premier Cru vineyards.<\/p>\n<p>RIESLING CLASSIC<br \/>\nDelicate fruit, lively character, mineraly driven, yet dryish with crisp fruit acid;\u00a0produced from 40 year old wines.<\/p>\n<p>RICHTER ESTATE RIESLING<br \/>\nProduced from grapes of \u201cPr\u00e4dikat\u201d-wine quality but vinified somewhat drier this is the calling\u00a0card wine of our Estate. It\u2019s produced from replanted vineyards, less than 15 years in terroir, where\u00a0due to its youth the expression of the single vineyard is not fully developed yet. Luscious and\u00a0quintessential Mosel Riesling.<\/p>\n<p>PINOT BLANC<br \/>\nHerbal fruit notes, gooseberry and white currant flavour, smells spring time; a lively\u00a0and well balanced, easy accessible wine; lean and loaded with slate stone minerals, representing\u00a0clearly distinct Mosel style.<\/p>\n<p>PINOT NOIR<br \/>\nA few years ago, we planted a small plot with a mixture of French and German Pinot Noir clones. The plot is located in M\u00fclheim in the \u201cauf Steinberg\u201d vineyard: steep slopes, fine gray-blue slate, and a pure south-facing location. The mash was fermented in open containers with a whole grape\/stem ratio of 25% and pressed after four weeks. Further aging took place for 15 months in used French oak barriques. The result is a classic Pinot Noir that cannot deny its Mosel origins. Clear, fine fruit and juiciness paired with classic slate minerality and freshness, with a moderate alcohol content.<\/p>\n<p>PINOT NOIR R\u00c9SERVE<br \/>\nWhen nature allows, we separately cultivate the best grapes from the oldest vines in our Pinot Noir plots. This Pinot Noir is then aged for two years in new French oak barrels. Deeper and more complex than normal Pinot Noir on the nose. More minerality and riper fruit. Long and dense on the palate! Still young. Decanting recommended! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALTER SATZ &#8211; MEDIEVAL FIELD BLEND 200 years ago, single-varietal vineyards were the exception here on the Mosel\u2014as they were in the rest of Germany.
