The wine region of Mittelrhein
Confidential gem of the German Middle Rhine, a UNESCO landscape. Signature Riesling (~65%): pure, chiselled whites with signature notes of lime, green apple, white peach, white flowers and marked slate minerality ("gunflint"), taut acidity and crystalline tension — from dry to sweet. Also light Müller-Thurgau and fine Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). ~461 ha on vertiginous terraces over steep schist overlooking the river.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
