In the 20th century, the Mosel recovered from its crisis, but primarily sweet wines were exported. As a result, Germany, and the Mosel in particular, earned a reputation for inferior wines. However, the tide has turned. Renowned wineries, such as Peter \u0026amp; Peter, realized that quality was the only way to distinguish themselves. To this day, you can taste this quality in Peter \u0026amp; Peter Riesling Trocken.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Nuances of Peter \u0026amp; Peter Riesling Trocken\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis white wine is made from Riesling. A noble grape that, with the necessary care, can develop into a beautiful wine. The grapes grow on the characteristically steep slopes of the Mosel. The soils here are very fertile and receive ample sunlight. However, the harvest is very labor-intensive. But, those who invest reap the rewards. This Peter \u0026amp; Peter Riesling Trocken is truly magnificent. The aroma is subdued yet elegant. You smell white fruit like peach and pear, as well as flowers and a hint of citrus.

By limiting the yield, the quality is higher. This is why Knipser can compete with large wineries that produce quality wines. Knipser Cuvée Gaudenz has refined aromas somewhat reminiscent of Pinot Noir. Abundant red and black fruit pleasantly interspersed with notes of herbs and strawberries. The hint of pepper reveals a light oak aging of only one year, giving Knipser Cuvée Gaudenz that little something extra. The palate is characterized by abundant blackcurrant and red fruit.

It is, in fact, the oldest Riesling estate in the world.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The centuries-old history of Schloss Johannisberg\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Wine has been grown at Schloss Johannisberg for 1200 years, exclusively Riesling since 1720. This is the birthplace of one of the oldest and most noble grape varieties in the world. Passion, responsibility, and pride stem from Schloss Johannisberg's long history of producing and inspiring others to produce an excellent Riesling.\n\n Rieslings are born in the vineyard—literally, where they have their roots. The soil, with its geological, geographical, and climatic characteristics, is an integral part of a wine's unique origins and ultimate flavor profile.\n\n\n \nQuality is achieved during the grapes' growth, which at Johannisberg is supported by organized vineyard management tailored to local conditions. The quality of the grapes is determined in the vineyard, not during vinification. The quality of the crop after harvest determines the quality of the finished wine. The typical soil composition is Taunus quartzite under a topsoil of loam. The grape, a quasi-spokesperson for the soil, expresses the entire influence on the taste of the finished wine. Riesling has been the only variety grown in the vineyard for almost 300 years. The soil and the grape, combined with the favorable climatic conditions and long winemaking tradition of Schloss Johannisberg, produce wines that reflect the inimitable character of their origins. In this way, Johannisberg is a magnificent monument to the diversity of Riesling, which found its true home in the vineyard surrounding the castle on the 50th parallel north.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are harvested by hand and gently crushed. The must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a small amount (10 percent) fermented in wooden barrels. Maturation: After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees for five months.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The fresh and fine nose of Riesling Feinherb Gelblack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n This Riesling is a golden yellow in the glass and is a medium-dry wine.

The long tradition of inquisitive and experienced cellar masters contributes significantly. The result is a broad range of wines, from dry, high-quality wines to ice wine.

It is a fully enclosed, single-site vineyard spanning 35 hectares, which forms a semicircular shape around the mighty castle and slopes southward like a terrace towards the Rhine. Can you see the development of Johannisberg Castle in its underground treasury, the Bibliotheca subterranea? Their own quality criteria trace back to 1748. This 900-year-old vaulted cellar currently holds approximately 17,000 bottles from all the major vintages since 1748.\n\n\n \nThe grapes for Rheingau Riesling were grown on the ridge that forms a semicircle around Johannisberg Palace. The soil is characterized by Taunus quartzite with a layer of fertile clay and a loess layer, as well as a small amount of iron dioxide, which gives the soil a reddish hue. The grapes were harvested by hand and then gently pressed. Half of the fermentation took place in oak barrels made from the castle's own oak. The Bronzelack Riesling was aged on its lees for six months. This was followed by oak aging in the cellars of Schloss Johannisberg, giving the wine greater depth.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy a very refined wine from Schloss Johannisberg\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWell, it succeeded. What a refined wine with deep structures. The aroma offers hints of stone fruit, citrus, and green pears with bright mineral notes. The palate is full and powerful with fresh nuances of berries, apple, lime, and asparagus. The finish has perfect acidity, which rounds it off perfectly.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775787831375,"sku":"9721","price":37.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/schloss-johannisberg-bronzelack-riesling_9721.webp?v=1770120352"},{"product_id":"ellermann-spiegel-grauburgunder-trocken","title":"Ellermann Spiegel Grauburgunder Trocken","description":"German wines often, quite unfairly, have a lesser reputation when it comes to viticulture. Take a sip of this Ellermann Spiegel Grauburgunder, and all your preconceptions will melt away. With this German sibling of the well-known Pinot Gris, Ellermann Spiegel has established itself as one of the top producers in the Palatinate.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e From bulk supplier to quality wines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWeingut Ellermann-Spiegel is headed by Frank Spiegel. He transformed his stepfather's business from a bulk supplier to a producer of quality wines. His wines are gaining increasing recognition. The farm is located in the southernmost tip of the Palatinate, where the region benefits from a unique microclimate where the grapes ripen optimally.\n\n\n \nThe name Palatinate comes from the Latin: Palatium, meaning palace. It is also called \"the Tuscany of Germany\" because of its climate and vegetation. (Rhineland) Palatinate is the second-largest agricultural area in Germany, bordering Rheinhessen to the north and Alsace to the south. Influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, it has a mild, maritime climate with relatively little rain and predominantly westerly Atlantic winds. Summers are predominantly warm and sunny. In the west of the wine-growing region, the Haardt Mountains protect the grapes from cold easterly winds in winter and retain heat in summer. This ensures optimal grape ripening.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Unforgettable impressions of Grauburgunder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOpen this bottle and the impressions are unforgettable!
