Thorsten Melsheimer, Riesling Trocken

BIODYNAMIC / LOW SULPHITE / VEGAN

A classic Mosel Riesling – aromatic, zesty, and dry. There’s plenty of minerality, lemon zest, beautiful herbal notes. Nuances of earth and some baked bread add an interesting note.
Thorsten Melsheimer took over the 200-year-old family estate in 1994 and immediately began cultivating his vineyards organically. Since 2009 all the vineyard work has been done according to biodynamic principles, receiving its Demeter certification in 2013. The estate consists of 11 hectares, 8 of which grow on the steep hill of the Mullay-Hofberg in Reil, a renowned winemaking village in the Mosel.
