Rebenhof Riesling Spatlese Feinherb Urziger 2015

Urzig, Moselle

Family business of Johannes and Doris Schmitz with a 7-hectare vineyard estate in the municipality of Urzig, heart of the Moselle, opposite Bernkastel.

Most of the free-range vines are located on the steep slopes of the Crus Ürziger Würzgarten and Erdener Treppchen.

The Würzgarten is divided into two soil types: red slate, which lends spicy minerality and elegance, and volcanic rock (Rotliegendes), which gives structure and softness to the Riesling. The winery only labels the wines 'Alten Rebe' if they come from vines that are at least 60 years old. Since the 2015 vintage, the wines are vegan.

Between the cities of Trier and Koblenz along the Mosel River, we find one of the best wine districts in Germany; vineyards stretch along the steep banks of the river, which for about 200 km winds its way through fascinating scenery.

The volcanic soils, the extreme slopes of the vineyards, the cold climate, the tenacity and dedication of the German winegrowers
allow the birth of the finest, most rigorous white wines with unique tertiary potential that make them the most
long-lived in the world.
