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: Petite arvine
An ancient white grape variety from the Valais (Switzerland), which produces renowned wines suitable for ageing. Viney and sustained by a strong vivacity, these wines express a fine salty touch, the signature of this variety. Petite arvine wines can be dry, tender or made from withered grapes from late harvesting. Syn.: arvine.
